Boil Order Issued For Lake Bluff Due To System Pressure Issues

LAKE BLUFF, IL — Officials in Lake Bluff issued a precautionary boil order throughout the village Wednesday morning due to pressure loss in the system.

Residents were advised to boil water for drinking and cooking purposes until further notice. According to the village, this is a standard procedure to ensure safety after a disruption to the water supply.

The boil order does not apply to Sanctuary Subdivision residents.

During the boil order, residents should:

• Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for five minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water.
• Community members should avoid non-essential tap water use. The boil order will remain in effect until laboratory sampling confirms water quality has been fully restored.
