accordance with an IEPA-mandated water quality sampling
program, on a daily basis as well as periodic flushing of the water
delivery system through hydrant flushing and repair. The Water Department

reading of water meters; the tracking of maintenance activity for over
1800 customer meters in the system; and water system turn-ons and
shut-offs.
The
Public Works offices are open from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday
through Friday. For after-hours emergencies, residents may call the
Village of Berkeley Police Department's non-emergency telephone
