A boil-water order affecting hundreds of people in southern Lake County was lifted Tuesday, 10 days after it was initiated.
The directive's demise meant residents in the Glennshire subdivision in Hawthorn Woods and the unincorporated Forest Lake neighborhood finally could resume drinking, washing with and cooking with water right out of their taps.
An estimated 1,200 Aqua Illinois customers in Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer and nearby unincorporated areas had been affected by the crisis, which began July 2. Some didn't have running water for days. But folks in the Forest Lake and Glennshire neighborhoods were told they should continue boiling tap water because the Lake County Public Works Department, which operates the Aqua system feeding only into their homes, was performing additional safety tests."Water samples tested by a certified laboratory have confirmed that the water is free of coliform bacteria," the county's statement read.
