Grant Park, IL – Residents in Grant Park are being asked to watch for unusual water bubbling from streets or curbs Thursday, Oct. 15, as local officials work to identify the source of a water service problem affecting parts of the Kankakee County community.
According to the Grant Park Fire District , officials have contacted Aqua and KanComm to coordinate resources and help determine where the water problem is occurring.
The fire district issued a public message directed toward Grant Park residents currently without water, asking the community to help identify possible signs of a problem beneath streets or near curbs.
Officials Ask Residents to Watch for Bubbling Water
Residents are specifically being asked to look for water bubbling up from the surface of streets or along curbs, which could provide important clues about the location of the disruption.
The fire district is encouraging anyone who notices these conditions to report the exact location to Aqua or KanComm.
Such observations could help responding personnel narrow down the affected area and identify where further investigation may be needed.
Officials have not confirmed the cause of the water service problem or whether a damaged underground water line is responsible.
Water Service Investigation Continues
The fire district indicated that resources are being coordinated to determine where the issue is located.
It remains unclear how many homes or businesses are affected, how widespread the interruption may be or when normal water service could be restored.
Residents experiencing water service problems are encouraged to monitor updates from local officials and their water provider.
Anyone who sees water bubbling from a street or curb should report the location rather than attempt to investigate or repair the problem.
The Grant Park Fire District continues asking for the public's assistance as efforts to identify the source of the water disruption move forward.
