The City of Taylorville has issued a boil order starting Wednesday afternoon. This is the cause of an earlier water main break near Tastee Treat on the Northwest side of Taylorville.

 Areas impacted by this boil order include:

•  Nectar Lane to Springfield Rd including Olivia’s, Liquor store, Tastee Treat, and Cherrywood Trailer Ct. (FS fast stop not included)
• Arby’s
• Schyler Lane from N Cheney St to Burnett Ave including HSHS 
• Melrose Lane 

Residents are advised to boil all water used for drinking, preparing food, beverages, ice cubes, washing fruits and vegetables, or brushing teeth for five (5) minutes prior to drinking it.  This is a precautionary measure for residents’ protection.  It is not necessary to boil tap water used for household purposes, such as showering, bathing, or laundry. 

Residents will be notified when the boil order is lifted
