Boil order lifted in Bridgeview following water system repairs

The boil order issued in Bridgeview earlier this week has been lifted.

The order was issued Thursday as a result of water system repairs being completed.

Officials said the order was precautionary until bacteria tests were complete. 

Bridgeview residents were asked to boil water for at least five minutes before using it for cooking, drinking, washing dishes, or brushing teeth.

"Water samples taken after service was interrupted Thursday afternoon have been confirmed to be free of coliform bacteria by a certified laboratory," village officials said in a statement Saturday.
