The village estimated that a permanent fix to its perpetual water main breaks will cost tens of millions of dollars.
– Work continues on two more main breaks in Dixmoor, the south suburban village that's been plagued with water woes for nearly a year.
CBS 2 investigator Megan Hickey has been digging into that question, and found the problem in Dixmoor is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to water problems in Illinois. It's become a very ordinary sight and sound in Dixmoor: crews patching a break in the century-old water mains underground. As soon as they fix one spot, another one bursts.
Several major water main breaks since last October have resulted in boil orders. One went on for more than two weeks. The most recent incident temporarily forced the closure of Dixmoor schools.
