Lombard

The Town of Lombard desires to assure its occupants that Lombard’s drinking water is safe to drink and exceeds all Federal government and Illinois Epa Standards for water. To ensure ongoing top quality of excellence, the Village has carried out a voluntary drinking water sampling. The impartial results are posted beneath on this page (village of Lombard. org/water quality) and are meant to serve as ongoing support of mandated drinking water quality reports. Lombard, like all general public distribution water devices, is required to test intended for lead in water every three years. The newest sample year intended for the Village is usually from 2014 and it is available at the village of Lombard. org/waterqualityreport. All of the sample sites were either non-detectable for lead or perhaps far below the Actions Level for business lead set forth by the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. Lombard receives pre-treated finished water from your City of Chicago via the DuPage Water Commission and adds only a modest amount of required chlorine to keep disinfectant levels. Once older water support lines or domestic plumbing fixtures are disrupted and come in contact with drinking water for a sufficient period, lead leaching is achievable. To help combat potential leaching, the City of Chicago treats water as having a polyphosphate additive that forms a thin layer within water mains and interior plumbing to avoid water from in fact coming in contact with pipe areas. This additive continues to be in the water completely from the treatment grow to your home in Lombard. During construction or perhaps emergency repairs, this kind of coating may be disrupted. Potential leaching could be minimized by running chilly water faucets for some minutes after long intervals of inactive make use of, usually longer than six hours. This might include when you get up in the morning or come back home from function or school. Different ways to reduce or get rid of potential lead publicity is to replace older water service lines, and update older domestic plumbing fixtures in your home with new lead free WaterSense fixtures. Drinking water filters are also accessible to remove lead coming from drinking water. These can be seen at most major merchants or online. Lombard is committed to offering the highest quality and most secure water to the residents. The Resources Division of the Public Functions Department has selected to perform additional arbitrary water sampling intended for a lead for educational purposes only. Our company is also committed to offering our residents with as much educational info as possible to assist occupants in reducing contact with lead in water.
