Village explains new hydrants near Brent Drive as part of water‑main looping
Summary
Village staff told the board new hydrants installed behind Brent Drive are in a utility easement and were placed to loop a water main—from Moynihan to a new well—to improve flow and redundancy; none are on private property, staff said.
A village board member raised a question about new fire hydrants installed behind Brent Drive during the June 17 meeting; village staff explained the work was intended to ‘loop’ the water main to improve flow and redundancy.
A presenter explained the system extension runs from Moynihan to a new well so the water system in that area will be looped; looping helps keep water fresh and allows alternate feed routes if a break occurs. The presenter also stated that all the new hydrants are in the utility easement and none are on private property.
The exchange occurred during trustees’ reports and was presented as an informational update rather than an item requiring a vote. No funding source or exact installation date was provided in the meeting transcript.
