JERSEYVILLE - Illinois American Water has issued a systemwide boil water order for its water customers in the Jerseyville District operations Tuesday night. The boil water order became necessary following a water main break on a transmission line that caused water pressure to drop below 20 pounds per square inch in portions of the Jerseyville water system.

During the boil water order, customers should bring their water to a rolling boil for five minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Water is OK for bathing, washing and other common uses.
