are served by the Village Water System.
Earlier this evening, crews made an emergency repair on the water line in the 700 block
of Taylors Bend. The water service was temporarily shut off while the repairs we made,
prompting officials to issue a precautionary boil advisory. The boil advisory will affect
homes on Taylor Bend, Humphrey, and Humphrey Circle.
