The City of Fairfield Water Distribution Department has announced a scheduled water service interruption for today (Monday) due to maintenance associated with the water line project in the Leininger Road area.
Water service will be shut off beginning at 8 a.m. this (Monday) morning for customers on both sides of Southwest 12th Street.
City officials say the duration of the shutdown is unknown, but crews will work to restore water service as quickly as possible.
Once service is restored, a boil order will be in effect for customers who experienced the interruption.
The boil order will remain in place until water samples have been tested and confirmed safe. The city will issue an announcement when the order has been lifted.
Residents affected by the shutoff are encouraged to plan accordingly and monitor city announcements for updates on the City of Fairfield Illinois Facebook page.
