On Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at 11:45 a.m., the City of Morrison, Il, issued an immediate Boil Order for all residents living on W. Main Street between Base Street and Orange Street. This also includes one additional address at 300 W. Main Street. Due to a water main break, it will be necessary for them to boil their water before consumption.
This Boil Order is given as a precaution. Pursuant to IEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act, Boil Orders are required, whenever the water system pressure drops below 20 psi. Therefore, you are advised (until further notice) to boil all water used for drinking and cooking for at least five minutes before consumption. Water samples will be taken in your neighborhood and then taken to an IEPA Certified Lab for analysis.
As soon as we receive notice of satisfactory results, the Boil Order will be lifted, and you will be notified.
We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for this inconvenience.
