*** ANNOUNCEMENT***
      
The water main project has been stop and go as of late due to backorder issues.  When the work resumes, it may still cause road closures and additional water shutoffs.  Queens and the Village will do our best to isolate the areas where shutoffs are needed, but we may not know what areas will be affected until we reach the mains and attempt to close the valves.  Please plan for these shutoffs as best you can and again, please remember that if your water is shut off, you will be under a Boil Order until further notice.  We will update information often as it becomes available.  Please click here for more information. 

The Village has sent out Cross Connection Control Surveys to both residents and business owners.  It is important that you complete these surveys and return them to the Village.  We appreciate your cooperation.  Thank you. 

Please click here for information on the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is requiring all municipalities to implement.  A letter is being sent regarding the timelines the Village must adhere to.
