Illinois American Water Issues Water Service Alert to Village of Glasford

Water distribution work will result in a temporary interruption to water service, followed by a boil water order on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2022

Glasford, Ill. – (Dec. 26, 2022) – This week, Illinois American Water will complete a critical project in the Village of Glasford’s water distribution system.  As a result of this work, water service will be temporarily interrupted on Wednesday, Dec. 28, to the Village of Glasford.
