Despite assurances from the utility company serving the area, hundreds of residents in southern Lake County should continue boiling tap water before use, county officials said Monday.

Despite assurances from the utility company serving the area that their water is safe to drink, hundreds of residents in southern Lake County should continue boiling tap water before use, county officials said Monday.

That announcement contradicts the one issued Sunday afternoon by Aqua Illinois, the company providing water to about 1,200 customers in the area. It said the boil order was being lifted"effective immediately." According to Lake County officials, Aqua's decision to end its boil advisory only affected the company's customers in Hawthorn Woods and Kildeer, not the 309 customers in unincorporated areas who receive water through the Lake County public works department.

by signing up you agree to our terms of service "If the samples tested by our state-certified laboratory confirm that the water is free of coliform bacteria, then the boil order will be lifted for these areas," the county's statement read.
