Among the Water Survey's most important public services are the water analyses provided by the Center for Chemistry and Technology to the citizens of Illinois. The Public Service Laboratory (PSL) has a long history of testing well water samples and making recommendations for water problems of all kinds, whether they cause health or economic difficulties, or whether they're simply a nuisance. The data generated by the testing becomes a part of the Survey's record of groundwater quality throughout the state. | ||||||||
Each year about 1,500 Illinois residents turn to the Water Survey's Center for Chemistry and Technology for help. A homemaker may bring a sample of wash water that has stained the laundry orange. A farmer may bring a sample of livestock water after noting a high death rate among his piglets. A doctor may submit a sample of the tap water to be used by a patient on a low-sodium diet. Or a city official may bring a sample from the municipal water supply to have the fluoride content checked. |
