Boil orders in effect in Du Quoin

Repair work being done on water lines west of downtown Du Quoin means a boil order remains in place for residents and businesses on Route 152, Butternut Road, Kathleen Road, yellow Brick Road, Rod & Gun Club Road and Gas Plant Road.

Du Quoin Waterworks and Sewerage System Superintendent Chris Lacy said the boil order will remain in place until the work is finished, and environmental tests on the water indicate it is once again fit for drinking and cooking.
