Water main break Saturday in Godfrey

Illinois American Water crews are repairing a water main break Saturday evening just south of 3043 Godfrey Road in the Village of Godfrey. Illinois American Water crews anticipate the main break to be repaired Saturday night.

Traffic remains open in both directions on Godfrey Road but one northbound lane is partially closed between Pleasant Valley Drive and Crestwood Drive, Motorists are asked to drive slowly and follow all traffic signs while in the area of the water main break.

A boil water order will be in effect when water service is restored. Impacted customers only will receive a phone call from Illinois American Water about the boil water order. A boil water order is mandatory when water pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch in the water system. During the boil water order, customers should bring their water to a rolling boil for five minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Water is OK for bathing, washing and other common uses.

After tests confirm the water meets all regulatory standards, impacted customers will receive a phone call from Illinois American Water informing them the boil water order has been lifted.
