 Subject: MASSMAIL - Immediate Boil Order for ALL Campus Buildings

A boil order is in effect until further notice for University of Illinois 
campus buildings.  A contractor hit a water main near the northwest corner 
of Bevier Hall (at the intersection of Goodwin Avenue and Gregory Drive).  
The water pressure in campus buildings dropped below an acceptable level 
but has since been restored.  As a result, the Illinois Environmental 
Protection Agency mandates a boil order until samples can be taken and 
analyzed.  That will take at least 24 hours.  People in University of 
Illinois campus buildings should boil all water used for drinking and 
cooking until further notice.  The water can be used for washing, but 
should not be used for drinking or cooking until deemed safe in accordance 
with the Illinois EPA.
