Attention Residents!
There is a boil order in effect until further notice. This post will be updated when it is lifted.
Approximately Landess Terres going west to Airport road, Shetland Dr from Washington St to Oakhill Dr, all Sunset, all Oakhill Rd, Meadow Creek Dr, Valley View Rd, Airport Rd. (see attached Map)
At about 8:00 AM on February 17, 2026, the City of Pittsfield water system in the affected area lost pressure due to the replacement of a regulator on Shetland dr. This caused the affected area of the city to lose volume and fall below the 20 Psi threshold.
The BOIL ORDER will remain in effect until laboratory sampling confirms that water quality has been fully restored. You will receive notification at that time.
Please call our office at 217-285-6850 if you have any questions or need further information.
Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for five minutes, and cool before using. Or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.
