Residents of Dixmoor suddenly found themselves without water Saturday after their water pressure fell to half its normal rates, according to the village.
Water pressure levels need to be in the range of 35 to 36 pounds of pressure per square inch to service Dixmoor, which is about 18 miles south of downtown Chicago, but the pressure levels fell to single digits at “various times” throughout the emergency, the village said.
The pressure issues are part of ongoing water concerns for Dixmoor, the village said. Last Thursday, the Village’s board declared a state of emergency.
“We know the water problems present an emergency situation for our residents and business owners. We know this is an emergency and we are doing everything we can to resolve it,” said Dixmoor Village President Fitzgerald Roberts in a written statement. “The Village Board, Village Clerk and the Village staff — we are all working around the clock.”
The city of Harvey is the only water provider for Dixmoor, the village said.
