Crews working to repair significant water main break at Emerson Street and East Prairie Road In Skokie

The Village of Skokie is working to repair a significant transmission water main break that occurred at approximately 5:15 a.m. this morning at East Prairie Road and Emerson Street.

Some community members in Skokie have reported very low water pressure or no water supply.

Boil Water Order In Effect

As a precaution, a Boil Water Order is in effect. Do not drink tap water without first boiling it

Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for five minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in water.

Community members should avoid non-essential tap water use.

Traffic Impacts

A road closure has been implemented at McCormick from Dempster to Golf and East Prairie from Church to Golf due to water main break. Avoid the area.
