HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. -- A boil order has been lifted at a number of commercial properties in north suburban Highland Park that were affected by a water main break on Thursday.
The boil order was lifted for eight of the 10 properties by 10:15 p.m. Friday, and for the final two by 7:20 p.m. Saturday, according to a statement from the city of Highland Park.
No further properties remain under a boil order.

City officials said tap water is now safe for consumption in all of the affected areas.
