TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Richard B. Helwig, 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 information to consider in author-
izing participation in the IEPA Community Water Supply Test-
ing Program.
BACKGROUND
Before 1989 and the amendments to the Safe Drinking Water
Act (SDWA) , 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 SDWA came many additional regulat-
ed 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 utili-
ties by implementing the Community Water Supply Testing
Fund. This fund charges utilities a rate per service connec-
tion and in turn allows the utility access to the analytical
services of its laboratory for compliance testing.
In the past four years the Water Department has chosen not to
participate in this program but has continued to use outside
laboratories for all compliance testing. However, at this
time we are recommending the exercise of our option for par-
ticipation. This is the first year that the agency is chang-
ing to a three-year participation period. If we start now,
we are in the program for three years (and likewise, if we
choose not to participate, we cannot join for three years) .
Participation at this time would enable us to gain analytical
services for all the Phase II and Phase V regulated and unreg-
ulated compounds and all the requirements not yet identified
under the Information Collection Rule (ICR) .

COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of participation in this program is $9,750 per year
for three years. 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 $1,400
the first year, $3,000 the second year, and at least $3,000
the third year.
LEGAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the members of the City Council au-
thorize participation in the Community Water Supply Testing
Program July 1, 1995, through June 30, 1998, at a cost of
$9,750 annually and direct the City Manager to sign the test-
ing agreement as owner.
