Please be advised that current water conditions are expected to continue for the next 3 to 4 days. Per Illinois EPA guidance, two consecutive safe test results are required before lifting the advisory.
WATER DISTRIBUTION AVAILABLE
Free bottled water, filled 1-gallon bottles, and empty 1-gallon bottles that may be filled on site are available for pickup at the following locations:
- Lytle Park (Address: 3298 Cedar Ave, Mattoon)
- Arland D. Williams Elementary School (Address: 1709 S 9th St, Mattoon, IL 61938)
Distribution sites are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to bring the containers previously provided to them with the lid or their own containers. Limit 5 gallons with lid.
To ensure that water is distributed fairly and reaches those who need it most, please do not visit both the Williams Elementary & Lytle Park locations distribution sites on the same day.
Doing so takes limited resources away from other families and individuals who are also in urgent need. We appreciate your cooperation and community spirit during this time.
If you are homebound or without transportation, please fill out the Water Assistance Request Form and a team member will be with you shortly. Please complete one request per household.
