Boil order LIFTED
Conservation measures continue until further notice

LINCOLN 

The boil water order issued in our Lincoln District on Sunday, Nov, 25, 2018 has been lifted. Conservation measures continue until further notice.

We thank the Lincoln community for their patience and understanding as our team worked to make repairs to critical water service equipment impacted during the recent winter storm. Critical repairs have been made and water quality tests have confirmed the water continues to meet all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Safe Drinking Water Act standards and regulations. It is no longer necessary for customers to boil their water before drinking or cooking. During the boil water order, Illinois American Water performed a series of tests to determine if the water met regulatory drinking water standards. Samples were taken from sites in the affected area and tests confirmed that the water meets all state and federal requirements.

Customers are asked to continue to conserve water as the system returns to normal operation. Customers should use tap water for only essential purposes until further notice. Please do not use tap water for washing clothes or filling bathtubs. We will notify customers when conservation efforts have been lifted.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Thank you!
