Lake Bluff, IL – A precautionary boil order has been issued for most water customers in Lake Bluff following a drop in water pressure, prompting officials to urge residents to boil tap water before drinking or cooking.
According to a notice from the Village of Lake Bluff, the boil order does not apply to residents in the Sanctuary Subdivision, but all other customers should assume the advisory is in effect until further notice. The safety measure was enacted after a disruption to the water supply system was detected earlier Wednesday.
Officials described the boil order as a standard public health procedure implemented to prevent potential contamination. While there is no confirmation of water contamination, the temporary order is intended to ensure safety as crews investigate and work to restore system integrity.
Updates and further guidance will be shared by the village as more information becomes available. Residents with questions are encouraged to contact Public Works Superintendent Jake Terlap at 847-735-2310 or Clara Gable, Assistant to the Village Administrator, at 847-283-6889.
