The City of Morrison announces that its municipal water tower will be temporarily taken out of service beginning May 1, 2026, to allow for scheduled interior tank maintenance. This work is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, reliable, and high-quality water system for residents and businesses. The anticipated maintenance period is 4 to 6 weeks.
During the maintenance period, the water system will continue to operate using alternative infrastructure; large-scale hydro-pneumatic pressure tanks. Residents and businesses may experience minor fluctuations in water pressure at times, but no major service interruptions are anticipated.
As a precaution, residents and businesses may notice temporary changes in water clarity, discoloration and odor. If this occurs, residents and businesses are asked to run cold water only (not hot water) for a few minutes until it clears. The water will remain safe for normal use throughout the maintenance period.
The City appreciates the community’s patience and understanding as this important work is completed. Updates will be provided if there are any significant changes to the project timeline or service conditions.
For additional information, please contact City Hall by calling (815) 772-7657, visiting 200 West Main Street or online at the City’s official website; www.morrisonil.org

During this transition period:
Online services may be limited or temporarily unavailable.
Response times for certain services may be delayed.
