Silvis

Part of Silvis under boil order

By Sharon Wren,

6 hours ago

A section of Silvis is currently under a boil order.

A news release from the city said residents on 7^th Street from 1^st Avenue to 4^th Avenue must boil water before use, due to a water main break.

The boil order is given as a precaution and pursuant to IEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act, Boil Orders are required whenever the water system pressure drops below 20 psi. Water samples will be taken from the area and then taken to an IEPA-certified lab for analysis. Once satisfactory results have been received, the boil order will be lifted.

8 Cleaning Mistakes That Make Your House Dirtier

I Tried the Famous Church Basement Casserole—Now I Understand Why the Pan Always Came Home Empty

There is something almost legendary about a church basement casserole: bubbling cheese, creamy sauce, tender layers, and the kind of hearty filling that feeds a crowd without trying to be fancy. This one has that unmistakable potluck energy—warm, savory, golden around the edges, and built from familiar ingredients that taste even better after a little time in the oven. It is the sort of dish that makes people hover near the serving table, quietly hoping for a corner scoop with the crispiest bits. One bite and it is easy to understand how a humble casserole can become the recipe everyone remembers long after the folding chairs are put away.

Once you make angel biscuits, you won't go back to plain biscuits

These biscuits use both yeast and baking powder, and the result is a taller, fluffier biscuit than anything you've made before. Angel biscuits are a cross between a classic Southern biscuit and a soft yeast roll. That combination gives them a light, almost airy texture that's hard to get from a regular biscuit recipe.
