After IEPA notice, council orders well repairs; mayor says no MCL exceedances
Summary
The Mayor told the Council an Illinois EPA notice of violation had been issued but that no maximum contaminant levels were exceeded; the Council voted 7-0 to repair all wells to address tank sizing, permit and a leaky well head.
Mayor Courtney reported that the city had received a notice of violation from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but he said "no maximum contaminant levels were exceeded in the City’s drinking water system." He told the Council the agency's concerns focused on chloride tank size, operating permits tied to building permits and a leaky well head.
Ald. Waldrop moved to repair all wells to address the issues cited in the notice; Ald. Dunn seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote, 7-0. The Council did not present the IEPA report in the meeting record; the motion directs Public Works and the Water Department to pursue repairs.
Council members recorded the motion unanimously and indicated repairs would proceed; the meeting minutes do not supply a detailed timeline or cost estimate for the work.
