JERSEYVILLE - Illinois American Water has issued a systemwide boil water order for its water customers in the Jerseyville District operations Tuesday night. The boil water order became necessary following a water main break on a transmission line that caused water pressure to drop below 20 pounds per square inch in portions of the Jerseyville water system.

Let's delve into important events that have occurred on September 25 throughout history. In 1513, the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa became the first European to sight the Pacific Ocean. Balboa's journey across the Isthmus of Panama marked a pivotal moment in the Age of Exploration, opening up new opportunities for trade and expansion. His sighting of the vast ocean paved the way for future expeditions and the eventual establishment of trade routes connecting Europe and Asia. Fast forward to 1789, and the United States Congress passed twelve amendments to the Constitution, ten of which would become known as the Bill of Rights. These amendments, ratified in 1791, enshrined fundamental liberties such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press.
