Village President Fitzgerald Roberts said the break is located on 139th Street between Dixie Highway and Thornton Road and involves an 8-inch main that supplies a significant portion of the village’s water. #dixmoor #watermainbreak

A boil water order is still in effect from 141st Street to 144th Street from Woods Street to Marshfield Street. #dixmoor

“The break has been fixed and originally we thought schools would reopen tomorrow morning, but we have been informed by the IEPA that tests need to be performed and so the two schools that were closed today will be closed tomorrow,” Roberts said.

“We are working around the clock to get this break fixed,” Roberts said. “I am also reaching out to Governor JB Pritzker as well as other state and county officials to expedite the help we need to get a permanent resolution..."

There is a boil water order in effect until further notice
