Lawn Sprinkling, Irrigation Prohibited During Well Maintenance

Western Springs residents are asked to conserve water and not to sprinkle or irrigate lawns and gardens while maintenance is performed on the primary well.

The use of irrigation systems and other non-essential water is prohibited, effective immediately.

The water limitations are expected to last until the first week of November, according to a message from Matthew Supert, director of Municipal Services.

The village will enforce water conservation until then.

The well maintenance is in response to water quality concerns Western Springs residents have shown over the past week because of the shallow well.

The water is safe and it complies with state and federal regulations, but the appearance has been below the customary standard, according to the village.
