The City of Clinton is providing an update on the ongoing city-wide boil order.

Monday afternoon, Water Commissioner John Wise announced the Illinois EPA has indicated the results of the latest round of water testing should be returned to the City Tuesday morning, at which point they hope the boil order will be lifted. 

The City attempted to contact the Illinois EPA multiple times Monday for an update regarding the test results that were sent last Thursday. City officials were supposed to of had an official report by Friday end up day or Saturday but nobody from the EPA has contacted us or returned our phone calls at this time. 

The boil order remains in effect until the City receives official notice from the EPA. 

In a statement Monday afternoon, Commission Wise said quote - "I am truly sorry that we cannot get this rectified any sooner. We truly are doing our best."
