The City of Macomb water main breaks have been fixed, and the water usage advisory has been lifted. Thank you to the community for their patience during this repair.
Original Post – The City of Macomb Public Works Department is asking all residents and businesses to immediately limit non-essential water usage following multiple water main breaks that are currently impacting the local water supply. At this time, there is no boil order in effect. By limiting the amount of water used, residents are helping us prevent the need to issue a system wide boil order.
Crews are actively working to locate and repair the damaged mains, but until full service is restored, the community’s cooperation is critical to maintaining water pressure and ensuring that essential services have the water they need.
Residents are asked to take the following actions:
- Postpone laundry, dishwashing, and other high-water-use activities
- Turn off irrigation systems and avoid outdoor watering
- Take shorter showers and reduce faucet use where possible
“We understand this is an inconvenience, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation,” said Alice Ohrtmann, Public Works Director. “Our top priority is restoring full service as quickly and safely as possible.”
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Please monitor local news, or follow us on City of Macomb IL on Facebook for real-time updates.
