Granville, IL – Residents along the 1100 block of East Main Street in Granville are under a boil order effective immediately, according to a notice from the Village of Granville shared by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
The village stated that the water main has been shut off in the affected area and that the order will remain in effect until further notice while testing is conducted.
According to officials, residents outside the listed area are not impacted by the advisory. Those within the affected section should boil all tap water before using it for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. The village also noted that water may appear yellowish as hydrants are flushed to remove air from the lines — a temporary issue expected to clear up as water runs.
The duration of the boil order is uncertain, as test results are pending. Updates will be shared directly on the Village of Granville’s official Facebook page, officials said.
Residents are urged to remain cautious and follow all boil order guidelines until the village confirms the water is safe for consumption.
