The boil order that had been in place since early this week for Chatham and other nearby communities has been lifted.
The order had been issued for customers of the South Sangamon Water System in Chatham, New Berlin, New City, and Loami.
It was caused by a drop in the system’s water pressure, the result of a water main that failed as crews were working on it.
But an electronic alert sent out Wednesday night says the order is now lifted.
