University Park, IL – Residents along a small stretch of Farmview Road in University Park are under a precautionary boil water advisory today following a water main break that caused a significant drop in system pressure.
According to Aqua Illinois, the advisory was issued after water pressure in the area fell below 20 PSI, a level that can increase the risk of contamination. The notice applies only to notified customers between 621 and 628 Farmview Road and is not system-wide.
Aqua said customers in the affected area may experience low water pressure or a complete loss of service while crews work to repair the main break. Until further notice, residents are advised to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice, and food preparation.
The utility recommends bringing tap water to a rolling boil for five minutes, then allowing it to cool before use. Aqua officials say customers will be notified as soon as the advisory is lifted and boiling water is no longer necessary.
The Village of University Park emphasized that the advisory is precautionary and limited in scope. No timeline has yet been provided for when repairs will be completed or when normal water service will be fully restored.
Residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact Aqua Illinois at 877-987-2782.
