A boil order for Skokie was lifted Sunday night after residents were stuck boiling water or using bottles for two days — following a water main break that flooded several blocks. Businesses and residents were elated that they could finally drink and use their water safely.

A boil water order in Skokie was lifted Sunday evening, according to an update from village officials, after laboratory tests confirmed tap water was safe to drink and use for cooking and hygiene. Samples from 70 locations in the village had been tested to ensure they met quality standards set by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Hoboken residents should be careful and not drink tap water without boiling it on Tuesday, officials say. The reason? A boil water advisory has been issued for Hoboken due to fluctuations in water pressure caused by efforts to stabilize service after a water main break at 18th Street & Jersey Avenue in Jersey City.
