Precautionary Boil Order Remains in Effect Pending Passing Lab Results
The broken water main has been replaced.
Flushing of the affected area (map) is complete and water samples to detect growth of coliform were delivered to a lab yesterday (per State regulations). Nearly 100 water samples needed to be collected, based on the water main replaced.
While we wait for passing lab results, the precautionary boil order protocols remain in effect and can be found here. Under this order, water for consumption should be boiled. Water can still be used to bathe and clean.

Once the boil order is lifted, we will be updating the impacted neighborhood through CodeRed messaging and a news alert on elmhurst.org
We thank you for your patience as we work on resolving this issue. The time needed for lab testing is necessary for our safety protocols.
