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
Before 1989 and the amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SWDA) , the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency provided
tow 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 utilities,
stopped all testing, and closed its laboratory.
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 96 regulated and 183
unregulated compounds and all the requirements not yet identified
under the Information Collection Rule (ICR) .
In 1995 and again in 1998 the City Council approved the Water
Department ' s participation in the three year IEPA Community Water
Supply Testing Program. This would represent the third year of
testing in the current three year program.

The cost of participation in this program is $14 , 265 per year for
three years . Funds have been budgeted for the year 2000 under
Account No . 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, 500 per year by eliminating the need to use a private
laboratory.
