Vinyl chloride is a man-made chemical that is found in groundwater from break-down products of solvent-type chemicals. When vinyl chloride is detected, it can indicate spills or releases that occurred 25 years or more in the past. The water supply wells and the finished water that is provided to residents is being sampled and analyzed by the Illinois EPA staff on a weekly basis to make sure that water provided to the community is safe to drink. | | | | Date Created: | 08 08 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | fact sheet #3 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000044495 Original UID: 23990 FIRST WORD: Sauk | |
