[ARCHIVED] Boil Order Lifted

Important

Effective immediately, residents in Rock Island between 24th Street and the Moline border, and from 31st Avenue to the Rock River are no longer under a boil order.

The recent boil order has been officially lifted following water testing that confirms the system is safe.

After a boil order is lifted, residents should:

  • Run all cold water faucets for at least 5 minutes.
  • Flush any appliances connected to water lines (ice makers, water dispensers, etc.).
  • Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
  • Drain and refill hot water heaters set below 113°F.
  • Change refrigerator water filters.

For full guidance, please visit: rigov.org/1337/Boil-Orders.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience.
