  o  Summary of Meeting with DOH Bureau of Water Supply Protection (7/30/26)
  The Village historically has had barium in its groundwater well source.
  Barium is known to be found in groundwater throughout the greater
  region.
—

  The Village has previously blended sources to maintain barium levels
  below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) under permission from the
  DOH.
  DOH BWSP is now requiring projects receiving funds under DWSRF to
  have full flow treatment capabilities of contaminants.
  New equipment will be required to treat for barium at peak daily or design
  flow rates of the existing plant or new treatment plant.
