Important Water Department Update
October 5, 2026
From: Hinsdale Water Dept.
---
Recent updates to the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule mandate that all water systems inventory their service lines. A water service line is the underground pipe that delivers water from the main supply, usually found in the street, to your home. These lines can be constructed using lead, copper, galvanized steel, iron, or plastic.
October 6th & 7Th 2026, we plan to pothole to identify the material of service lines in Indian Acres and Hinsdale Heights. Potholing is field work that is done using a vac truck to dig down to the service lines to see what the material is whether it be galvanized, lead, plastic or copper. In some cases, we may need to use a backhoe to remove items, such as large rocks, that a vac truck cannot pick up. This work will take about two hours, and the area, typically small holes, will be restored afterward.
This notification and follow-up actions you and the water system can take will continue the process of improving the drinking water quality in North Hinsdale.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
