CHICAGO ~ Chicago residents can now breathe a sigh of relief as the Department of Water Management has lifted the boil order that was issued on July 9, 2024. The order was initially put in place for buildings and homes located east of Sacramento Avenue, north of 119th Street, west of I-57, south of 87th Street, and southwest of Beverly Avenue.
The decision to rescind the boil order came after thorough testing conducted by the Department's Water Purification Laboratories ruled out any microbiological contamination. This news will surely come as a relief to residents who have been advised to take precautionary measures for the past few days.
The boil order was initially issued as a precautionary measure due to a temporary dip in water pressure caused by a water main break at the Roseland Pumping Station. However, with the main now fully pressurized and the break repaired, there is no longer a risk of unsafe water.

In light of this development, the Department of Water Management has provided guidelines for residents to follow after the boil order has been lifted. These include flushing all faucets for five minutes, continuously running drinking fountains for five minutes, and making three batches of ice and discarding them before using it again.
Residents are also advised to drain and refill hot water tanks, run water through regeneration cycles if they have a water softener, and perform recommended filter changes or back-washing for point-of-use or inline water filters.
For larger buildings with water-holding reservoirs, it is recommended to drain them before restarting and flushing any water-using fixtures according to manufacturer specifications. The Department's Water Quality Surveillance Section can be contacted at (312)-744-8190 or 311 for any further questions or concerns.
With this boil order now lifted, Chicago residents can go back to using their tap water without any worries. The Department of Water Management assures that they will continue to monitor and maintain safe drinking water for all residents.
