Thank you for visiting the official website for the Village of Creston, Illinois
Established in 1856, Village of Creston, Illinois, (est. pop. 650) is located approximately 90 miles west of Chicago and 30 miles south of Rockford, Illinois along the historic Lincoln Highway. With a thriving agricultural base, the village is home to a notable K-8 public school, an outstanding library, park district and active community organizations. The annual "Creston Booster Days" is known throughout the region as one of the top, small-town festivals each September.
On Saturday, October 20th, Village of Creston is planning to replace a leaking water main valve on the corner of South St. and Transit St. and another valve on the corner of South St. and Main St. Water will be turned off to most residents within these areas. All care will be taken but it may be a possibility that the whole town will have to be shut off during these replacements.
Depending on the extent of the replacements and the ability to localize the shut off, there will be a boil order for partial or all of the town once the water is turned on. Please refer back to our website, to Facebook or text/email messages if you have signed up for our Nixle alerts.
