The Illinois EPA provided clearance to lift the order on Sunday at 12:35 p.m.

The village will continue to pass out water until 2 p.m. Sunday.

The order was issued on Monday afternoon after tests showed coliform bacteria was found in the water system.

What is coliform bacteria?

Coliform bacteria are naturally present in the environment, according to the DuPage County Health Department.

However, the presence of the bacteria in water could suggest that potentially harmful fecal bacteria could be present.
