Boil Order Notice - Austin Avenue

The Village of Glen Carbon has issued a Boil Order for residents located in the following area; all of Austin Avenue, effective, Tuesday, January 18, 2022, until further notice.

A water main break has occurred in the area and will be under repair starting at 9:00A.M. Expect service disruptions while repairs are being made. Area water samples will be collected for bacteriological analysis. This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as the result of the total or partial loss of pressure due to the water main repair.

Under the 'Boil Water' Notice, all affected customers are advised that the water may be unsafe for human consumption, and water used for drinking or food preparation must be boiled for five (5) minutes prior to use. Ice cubes made after the incident occurred should be discarded during the boil order period.
