Most water main breaks occur during the cold winter months. This is especially true if we get little or no snow to insulate the ground. If you spot a water main break please call us immediately at (847) 746-4060.
If after hours, report the main break to the Police department at (847) 872-8000. Although main breaks are fixed under pressure, those services connected to that main will experience a pressure loss as if the water was turned off. Fixing the main is a top priority and as time is of the essence we do not notify residence that they may be without water for a while. We regret any inconvenience this causes. If no problems exist the water is usually back to normal pressure within the hour.
