City of Galesburg – Boil Water Advisory Update

Issued: August 21, 2025 – 7:30 AM
Expected Duration: Through August 25, 2025

The boil water advisory for the City of Galesburg has been extended. We have been unable to get the required water samples taken, tested, and cleared in a timely manner.

The advisory will remain in effect through Monday, August 25, 2025, at which time we are attempting to have it lifted.

During this time, all residents should continue to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or washing dishes.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of our water supply. Updates will be posted on the City of Galesburg website as soon as they are available.
