VIENNA, Ill. (WJPF) – The city of Vienna has issued a do not drink water order effective immediately. 

The Illinois EPA was conducting routine testing and detected a toxic algae bloom. Do not use the tap water for drinking and cooking until further notice. Boiling the water will not help in this situation.

Water will be available this morning starting at 10am at the Vienna City park. Bottled or plastic jugs will be distributed in limited quantities to ensure everyone that needs water receives some.

If you are elderly or can not get out, please call the sheriff’s office at (618) 658 8264.
