Illinois American Water

Illinois American Water is conducting its annual maintenance program in the Metro East region from August 17th to September. This involves flushing water mains and fire hydrants, and a temporary switch to free chlorine at treatment plants in East St. Louis and Granite City. These measures ensure water quality and fire protection. Customers may experience temporary pressure fluctuations or discolored water. A change in taste or odor is also possible but poses no health risks.
