Village officials confirmed that the incident affected properties across more than a dozen locations, including a major entertainment venue on North Roselle Road. Water service was restored around 4 a.m., but the boil order remains in effect for at least 24 hours and could extend to two days, depending on water testing results.
The boil order covers Crestwood Court, Kristin Drive, Willow Brook Court, Sleepy Hollow Court, Eastwood Court, Idle Wild Court, addresses from 1 to 55 Commerce Drive, 1901 Roselle Road, Wilkening Court, White Oak Lane, Amada Court, Amanda Lane, Arbor Glen Boulevard, White Oak Court, Center Court, and Central Road. Residents in these areas are advised to boil all tap water for at least one minute before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or washing dishes.
Officials explained that a boil order is necessary whenever there is a significant water system disruption because contaminants can enter the water supply when pressure drops. Laboratory testing will be conducted to ensure the water meets safety standards before the advisory is lifted.
Public works crews have completed the main repair and restored water flow, but residents may experience temporary discoloration or reduced pressure while the system is fully flushed. Hydrant flushing will continue in affected neighborhoods to remove any remaining sediment or impurities.
The advisory poses challenges for households and local businesses, particularly restaurants and other establishments that rely on clean water for operations. During boil orders, food service locations must comply with strict safety rules, which may include using bottled water, altering menu items, or temporarily closing until the water is confirmed safe.
Authorities are urging residents to follow official alerts for updates and avoid relying on unofficial information. Notifications will be issued immediately once water quality tests confirm the supply is safe for normal use.
Until then, all residents in the affected areas should continue boiling water before consumption and take extra precautions to avoid potential health risks.
