Water main break that affected 50 homes in Dixmoor fixed; another apparent break to undergo repairs Sunday

A water main break that impacted 50 homes in Dixmoor on Saturday evening has been fixed. 

Village President Fitzgerald Roberts said workers were deployed to address the main break at 143rd and Marshfield Avenue. According to Roberts, about 50 homes are affected, leaving those residents with no water during the repairs.

The main issue has been fixed, but there is another water main break not far from the now-repaired water main. 

Roberts said crews will be dispatched on Sunday morning to find the exact location and begin repairs. 

The break comes just days after a boil order was lifted due to a separate water main break in the village earlier this week.

An 8-inch water main broke on 139th Street between Dixie Highway and Thornton Road last Sunday.

The water main break left more than half the village with little or no water pressure until the pipe was repaired around 2:30 a.m. on Monday. A boil order was then issued and later lifted on Tuesday.
