During the week of September 28, 2020 one crew began installation of watermain on Crest Ave while the second crew began installation of watermain along IL-83. Weather permitting, during the week of October 5th, both crews will continue with the watermain installation at their respective locations. We are anticipating a watermain shutdown on Tuesday, October 6th at Third Ave/IL-83. This was originally scheduled for September 29th but had to be postponed due to unforeseen underground utility conflicts. The impacted residents will be notified via door hangers. A precautionary boil order will be in place for approximately 24-hrs after the water is turned back on.
