    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Goodman):
    On April
    13, 1977,
    the Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)~
    filed a Complaint against The Huntley Community Association
    (Association) alleging violations of the Board’s Public Water
    Supply Regulations
    (Regulations),
    an Act to Provide for Safeguarding
    the Public Health by Vesting Certain Measures of Control and Super-
    vision
    in the Department of Public Health over Public Water Supplies
    in the State
    (P.W.S. Statute),
    and an Act to Regulate the Operating
    of
    a Public Water Supply
    (Certified Operator Statute).
    A hearing
    was held on August 16,
    1977,
    in Crete,
    Illinois,
    No members of the
    public were present.
    At the hearing the parties submitted a Stipu-
    lation and Proposal for Settlement.
    The Association owns and operates a public water supply serving
    sixteen households in the Huntley Terrace Subdivision near Crete,
    Will County,
    Illinois.
    The system, which includes one drilled well,
    a pressure storage tank and
    a distribution system,
    is supported by
    an annual $50.00 fee paid by each member household.
    The parties stipulate that the Association has failed to employ
    a properly certified public water supply operator and has failed to
    chlorinate and fluoridate the water distributed in its water supply
    system.
    In the Stipulation, the parties outline steps the Associ-
    ation has taken toward compliance subsequent to the filing of the
    Complaint herein.
    The Board finds that the Association has violated Rules
    302,
    305 and 306 of the Regulations, Section
    7(a)
    of
    the
    P.W.S.
    Statute,
    26-44w
    &7~W5
    —2—
    and Section
    1 of the Certified Operator Statute.
    The parties stipu-
    late that to their knowledge no injury to the public has resulted
    from the Association’s omissions, that the public water supply is
    of social and economic value,
    and that it is technically practicable
    and economically reasonable to bring the system into compliance.
    The Association agrees to pay a penalty of $250.00 for the violations
    found herein,
    to employ a properly certified operator and to begin
    chlorination and fluoridation of its system.
    In light of the above
    factors,
    the board finds the $250.00 penalty to be appropriate and
    finds that the Proposal for Settlement will adequately ensure compli-
    ance.
    This Opinion constitutes the findings of facts and conclusions
    of law of the Board in this matter.
