The boil water order was issued after a contractor working in the area caused a water main break to occur in the service area, which includes unincorporated areas near Wheaton, Winfield and Carol Stream.
“Our team wants to thank our customers for their patience as we worked to resolve the issue,” said Mike Smyth, Sr. Manager of Field Operations and Production. “We appreciate our customers understanding.”
