Village of Glen Carbon issued the following announcement on May 29.
The Village of Glen Carbon has issued a Boil Order for residents located in the following area; Elsie Avenue and George Street, effective, Tuesday, May 29, 2018 until further notice.
A water main break occurred in the area and is currently under repair. 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.
