The City of Pittsfield, in cooperation with state and federal agencies, is working to make the natural gas pipeline system serving its customers as safe as possible by sharing safety information with those individuals who live or work near pipelines. Key components of the education are one-call notification and response to leak complaints.
In Illinois, the one-call program is called JULIE (Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators). To contact JULIE call 811 or 1-800-892-0123. Your notice to dig must be made 48-hours (two working days) before excavation starts, and the project must begin within 14-calendar days from the time of the call to JULIE.
If you live or work near a natural gas pipeline operated by the City of Pittsfield, you will receive a special pipeline safety pamphlet. This pamphlet contains critical information to educate you on safety around pipelines. Please review the information and complete and return the reply card. Your response will assist the City in evaluating the safety program and provide valuable information on ways to improve the program.
***UPDATE***
Boil Order only affects two locations on Grove St. from Adams St to Perry St.
BOIL ORDER
At about 10am on 03/23/23, the City of Pittsfield water system in the affected area lost water pressure due to a replacement of a section of water main on Grove St.
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.
Bring tap water to a rolling boil, boil for 5 minutes and cool before using.
Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause!
We have a water main break near the intersection of Morrison and Jackson East of the Highschool. There is a lane closure near the intersection please avoid this area if possible.
Thank You
