The boil water advisory has been receded for the whole village. Residents are asked to flow water for a few minutes before resuming normal consumption. We thank all the residents for their support as we replace aging infrastructure.

All properties north of 54th avenue and along 54th avenue, 51st street north of 51 avenue, 51st avenue west of 50th street, 52nd avenue west of 50th street, 53rd avenue, and the Edgerton Public School are no longer under the boil water advisory. (PleaseCLICK HERE for the map) The remainder of properties are still under a boil water advisory and will face intermittent shutdowns over the next week. Please refer to the schedule posted on Friday September 15, 2023.
Please be advised work is ongoing and a village wide shut down may still be required
Starting September 11th,2023 at 9:00 am the Village of Edgerton will place a boil water advisory for your a portion of the village. Please refer to the map by clicking here.

Spectre Systems has been awarded the contract to replace three mainline water valves along 50th Street. Replacing these valves ensures that the Village of Edgerton provides all residents with safe drinking water. While work is being completed, residents will experience low pressure or no water.
Residents in the affected area should bring water to a rolling boil for one minute. Water that has been boiled can be cooled and stored for later use.

Then later in the day a second outage will occur for properties located south of 51 ave. At this time we have no ETA on when this will occur but we will be updating through out the day. Please monitor Facebook and the website for up to date information.
The water outage is being extended by 2 hours as the crews are working to complete the change of the north 50th street valve.

Water was restored on Thursday late afternoon. Crews worked on Friday to fill in excavations where possible others remain open.
We ask the public to please not enter the working zones, climb on the material piles, or touch any equipment.
The Village of Edgerton is aware water is coming from the valve cover near the post office, incidents like this do occur when systems are depressed. The Village of Edgerton staff take great care in bring the system online, but with the age of the infrastructure the risk increases. The decision was made to not attempt a repair until next week to reduce the chance of water failure over the weekend.
Our staff started early on Friday to get water samples completed to reduce the size of the boil water advisory, these samples were driven into Edmonton to the provincial lab and with the support of AHS lab staff and Health Inspectors we hope to get results over the weekend. Once we know the result and it may be possible to lift the boil water advisory for certain regions of the Village. We hope this will include the school.
Expected plans for the week of September 18 to 22, 2023. (Please note if an incident occurs, water may be shut down unexpectedly across the village) Water should restored nightly.
