Fire hydrants across Lisle will be getting a fresh coat of paint starting Tuesday, August 12, 2025, as part of the village’s efforts to enhance public safety.
According to the Village of Lisle, contractor Go Painters Inc. will carry out the work, which aims to make hydrants more visible to emergency responders. Officials say that brightly colored and freshly painted hydrants can help firefighters locate them more quickly, reducing emergency response times.
The project will involve repainting hydrants throughout the village in vivid, high-visibility colors. While the exact duration of the work has not been announced, residents may notice crews working in neighborhoods and along roadways over the coming days.
Village officials are encouraging residents to keep hydrants accessible by avoiding obstruction with vehicles, landscaping, or snow during the painting period and beyond. While the painting process is not expected to disrupt water service, some hydrants may be temporarily out of service while paint dries.
The Village emphasized that routine maintenance, including painting, is a key part of keeping hydrants in optimal working condition. By improving visibility, the project supports faster, more efficient responses during fires and other emergencies.
Anyone with questions about the hydrant painting schedule can contact the Village of Lisle Public Works Department for additional details.
