April 17, 2014 - On April 17, 2014, the Board adopted a final opinion and order amending the Illinois Primary Drinking Water Standards relating to certification of laboratories analyzing drinking water samples. Specifically, the amendments allow a drinking water supplier to use a laboratory certified by a sister state for a parameter where no United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-certified or Illinois-certified laboratory exists for that parameter. Previously, laboratories used had to be certified and approved either by the USPEA or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA).
