UPDATE: The boil order is lifted for City of Rock Island water customers in the areas of Blackhawk Hills Court, Blackhawk Hills Drive, Bowers Addition (44th Street north of Blackhawk Road and that entire neighborhood) and Rock Island areas of Wildwood, according to a Saturday news release. 

These areas were placed under a boil order because of an emergency water main repair that occurred Friday, Nov. 10.

The City of Rock Island Water Treatment Plant has tested water samples from multiple locations in the affected areas and verified the water is safe for consumption without boiling. 

“The City of Rock Island appreciates your patience and understanding,” the release says.  

EARLIER: Residents in parts of Rock Island are under a boil order until further notice.
