While these aquifers provide a superior quality of water and the excellent possibility of meeting the water demands from the community, these water wells often contain raised concentrations of Radium-226 as well as Radium-228. The Village associated with Oswego is employing a filtration process about radium removal. The water in the Village’s eight high-capacity heavy wells contains normally occurring radium because do many heavy wells in north Illinois. The radium degree at each nicely is below the environmentally friendly Protection Agency’s (EPA) maximum allowable degree of 5 picocuries for each liter (pCi/L). Fluoride levels in the deep sand rock aquifer meet EPA as well as Illinois Department associated with Public Health requirements for drinking water with no additional fluoride is added at the well sites. Oswego’s Nicely No. 3 is situated on Madison Street through the village center’s 500, 000-gallon water structure. This well produces 950-gallon each minute. Well, No. 4 is situated on Chicago Street. This well produces 550-gallon each minute. Well, No. 6 is found in the Fox Chase subdivision alongside the 300, 000-gallon water structure. This well produces 1000-gallon each minute.

All of the actual wells are treated to get rid of high levels associated with Radium, chlorinated to destroy any microbial contaminants which may be present and handled with polyphosphate about corrosion control as well as mineral sequestration after which delivered into the actual distribution system. Because of favorable monitoring background, aquifer characteristics, and inventory of potential causes of contamination, our water provide was reissued the vulnerability waiver renewal for that sampling period associated with January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. The special exclusion permit extends sample requirements to as soon as every nine many years for SOC’s and Cyanide and when every six many years for VOC’s concerning Wells No. 3, four, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10.
