Albany residents, the boil order has been lifted and water services are working properly, per the village of Albany. Thank you for your patience as they worked through the issue. Thank you to the city workers and all involved in taking care of the issue. Any questions, call city hall. Stay warm, and stay safe!!

Albany citizens, until further notice you are under a boil order from a water main break. Please be sure you are receiving notifications from the "code red" notification system through the city. This can be done either in person at City Hall or by calling 309–887–4064. While, we fully support the Village Of albany, we are two separate entities so calling the fire station will not help you. The city workers are hard at work and are fantastic employees, so give them the chance to get this fixed. Again, should you have any questions, please call City hall, be kind, and be patient.

From all of our wonderful crew here at the AFPD, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!!!
