Bellwood residents relieved boil order is lifted
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency enacted last Saturday. The situation has been a real hardship for thousands of residents, especially over a holiday weekend.
For the first time in a couple of days, Tasha Taylor is able to use her water without having to boil it. Bellwood got clearance from the United States Environmental Agency to lift the boil water order. The village said the EPA tested 29 water samples, collected from locations around the village. Taylor didn't cook Christmas dinner because of potentially tainted water. But she still boiled water so her six-year-old son could take a bath. Unaware of the boil order being lifted Tuesday, she still planned to boil her water.
