University Park trustees express concern on Aqua water testing

Village attorney Nina Fain gives an update Tuesday to the University Park trustees and residents about free water testing Aqua Illinois will provide to residents and the pending litigation against the company.

Trustee Jewell Thompson, elected in April, said it didn’t seem right for Aqua to conduct the testing.“I don’t think you can ask the person who created the problem to solve the problem necessarily,” Thompson said. “Who’s advocating for us?”Residents can call 877-987-2782 to schedule water testing, she said, and should email the attorney general’s office at upwater@ilag.gov if testing isn’t occurring or if they have questions.

IEPA’s violation notice cites Aqua for deficiencies in its permitting and sampling processes; for failing to properly categorize lead and copper sampling sites; and for failing to maintain a safe public water supply.
