Downtown Peoria boil order lifted on Friday after water main break earlier this week

PEORIA, Ill. – Illinois American Water says a boil order has been lifted for downtown Peoria.

The order was needed after a water main break occurred in the intersection of Adams and Liberty Streets on Wednesday.

Water quality was affected in 22 buildings by the break.

Repair work to the water main was finished Thursday, but it will take several days before the road is completely repaired.
