EAST CHICAGO, INDIANA – Effective Friday, March 28, 2025 @ 10:00am, the East Chicago Water Department will be experiencing a loss and drop in pressure as a result of emergency service line repairs/replacement being performed in your area. Due to the loss of pressure within the distribution system dropping below 20 pounds per square inch (PSI), a PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER ADVISORY is being issued for customers within the vicinity effective Friday, March 28, 2025 @ 10:00am and until further notice. The advisory will remain in effect until water samples are collected and analyzed to confirm that the water quality has not been affected and the water is safe to drink, meeting regulatory drinking water standards and requirements. The sampling and testing process typically takes 24-48 hours, or as required. While this advisory is in effect, it is recommended that customers boil tap water vigorously for at least five (5) minutes prior to using it for cooking, food preparation, drinking, making ice, etc. Please continue to boil all cooking and drinking water until you are notified that it is no longer necessary. Residents and customers are requested to share this information with those who may not have received this message directly. Additionally, this notice is to inform you that your water services may be temporarily interrupted on Friday, March 28, 2025 between the hours of 10:00am and 12pm relating to said emergency service line repairs/replacement type work in your area, as well as roadways in the vicinity may be partially affected to vehicular traffic.
Customers will be notified when the precautionary boil water advisory has been lifted in the same manner that this notice has been issued. Customers under a precautionary boil water advisory can resume normal water usage when the advisory is lifted without taking additional measures. If you experience cloudiness or discolored water, it is recommended that you run your faucets for a few minutes until the water runs clear.
The City apologizes for the inconvenience and requests your cooperation.
