EAST PEORIA — Much of East Peoria is under a boil advisory due to an emergency water main repair at the intersection of Main and Camp streets.

The boil advisory extends from the East Peoria/Creve Coeur city limit all the way to the Illinois River. It includes the Richland area, the East Peoria Caterpillar facilities, West Camp Street, Riverside Center and all of the Levee District retail area, including Walmart and Bass Pro Shops.

East Peoria City Hall is also in under the boil order, which extends out North Main to Mariner's Way and includes the Cullinan Properties building, South Main and West Washington streets all the way back to Creve Coeur.

The order ends after 2440 N. Main Street. Businesses beyond that point, including Johah's Seafood House, 2601 N. Main St., are not included in the order. Anna and McKinley streets are also not part of the advisory area.

Those under a boil order should boil water for at least five minutes before consuming it. Laundry and showering can be done normally. Boil advisories are in effect for up to 30 hours, sometimes less, after water service is fully restored.
