We will no longer be able to dispatch the ambulance for the public. You will have to dial 911 if you have an emergency or need any ambulance services, please DO NOT call our non-emergent phone number. 911 calls will be answered by either the Henry County Sherriff’s Office or Kewanee Police Department. Please assist us with this transition

Hydrant Flushing Spring 2026
The City of Geneseo hydrant flushing will be March 30th – April 3rd from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. Episodes of decreased pressure and discoloration of water may occur. Discoloration may be seen throughout town and may not only affect the immediate area where flushing is taking place. We recommend that you refrain from doing white or light colored laundry while flushing is being done. The Water Department will be starting on the north side of town and working their way from east to west as the move in a southward direction street by street. Once flushing is complete, if you still experience discolored water, run your water on cold for 20 minutes. After this is done, if you continue to experience discolored water, call City Hall at 309.944.6419 so an appointment can be scheduled to address the concerns. For more information on hydrant flushing including the flushing map, please visit the “New/Posting” section of the City’s website.
