Peotone, Illinois – A precautionary boil water advisory is in effect for parts of Peotone after system pressure dropped below 20 PSI Friday afternoon, prompting a safety notice from Aqua.
According to a message shared by the Village of Peotone at 3:23 p.m., Aqua sent the notification on Feb. 13 following a hydrant replacement in the area.
The advisory applies only to customers in the 600 block of Hauert, 700 Hauert, and 413 and 501 North 6th Street. Village officials emphasized this is not a system-wide notification.
Customers in the affected area may experience low water pressure or a complete loss of service due to the hydrant replacement work. Because system pressure fell below 20 pounds per square inch (PSI), Aqua issued the precautionary boil water advisory in accordance with standard public health guidance.
Aqua advises residents to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food until further notice. Water should be brought to a rolling boil for five minutes and allowed to cool before use.
Officials said residents will be notified once boiling water is no longer necessary.
For questions, customers may contact Aqua at 877-987-2782.
The advisory may be especially relevant for students and young workers preparing meals before evening activities.
