AND QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: IEPA Community Water Supply Testing Program PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider authorizing continued participation in the IEPA Community Water Supply Testing Program. BACKGROUND em. Before 1989 and the amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA) , the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency provided testing of certain parameters at no charge to public water utilities . The IEPA did all the scheduling, sent the sample bottles to the utilities, and did the testing and reporting. All the utility had to do was collect the samples . With the amendments to the SWDA came many additional regulated compounds . The IEPA determined it could no longer provide this service to its utilities, stopped all testing, and closed its laboratory, all within a four-month period. In 1990 the IEPA determined a way to provide testing to utilities by implementing the Community Water Supply Testing Fund. This fund charges utilities a rate per service connection and in turn allows the utility access to the analytical services of its laboratory for compliance testing. Continued participation at this time would enable us to gain analytical services for all the regulated and unregulated compounds and all the requirements not yet identified under the Information Collection Rule (ICR) . r IEPA Testing Program March 22, 2001 Page 2 In 1995, and again in 1998, the City Council approved the Water Department' s participation in the IEPA Community Water Supply Testing Program in three-year increments . This would be for the third set of a three-year program. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. OILFINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of participation in this program is $17, 550 per year for three years . Cost for participation July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2001, was $14 , 265 . This is a cost increase of $3 , 285 due to an increase in regulated testing requirements . Funds have been budgeted under account number 401-4002-771 . 30-99, Professional Services/Miscellaneous, within the Water Fund. It is estimated that participation in this program will save the department a minimum of $1, 000 per year by eliminating our need to use a private laboratory. 0WEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES None . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the members of the City Council approve the City' s participation in the Community Water Supply Testing Program from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2004 , at a cost of $17, 550 annually, and authorize the Director of the Water Department to sign the annual testing agreement (copy attached) as Official Custodian.
