University Park, IL – Residents along Oakside Lane received good news today as the previously issued boil water advisory has officially been lifted, according to an update from the Village of University Park.
The advisory, first announced Tuesday following a main break that caused system pressure to fall below 20 PSI, prompted Aqua Water to instruct affected customers on Oakside Lane to boil all tap water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and other household uses. The notice emphasized that the advisory applied only to notified customers on that street, not the entire village.
According to Aqua Water, the main break has since been repaired and pressure has returned to safe operating levels. Water quality tests indicated that boiling is no longer necessary, and normal household water use may resume immediately.
The original disruption caused some residents to experience low pressure or a temporary loss of water service. Aqua Water said the precautionary boil advisory was issued in accordance with safety protocols whenever system pressure dips below regulatory thresholds and could increase the risk of bacterial contamination.
Officials thanked residents for their patience during the repair process. “We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation,” Aqua wrote in its earlier notice.
Residents with remaining questions can contact Aqua Water Customer Service at 877-987-2782.
