The City of Taylorville has issued a boil order starting Tuesday morning.  The boil order is from West Market Street between Cheney Street and Houston and South Houston Street between Franklin and Main Cross.  Boil orders are generally issued when there is an interruption in water flow due to a water main break, accidental cut, or required maintenance.  

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.
