PFAS Letter

Just a friendly reminder that Water/Sewer/Garbage bills are due tomorrow!
Dear VOHC water customers –
The Village of Hanna City (VOHC) purchases its water from Illinois American Water (IAW) and then distributes it to each home within the Village. In 2025 and now again in 2026, the IAW tested higher than the 4 parts per trillion requirement for PFAS, synthetic elements manufactured for oil- and water-resistant properties. IAW has until April 26, 2029 to comply with the new PFAS standards.
We are waiting to receive the specific communication materials for 2026. In the meantime, here is the letter from IAW we communicated in 2025:

This is the communication the Village of Hanna City received from Illinois American Water regarding the PFAS situation:
Dear Customer:
Illinois American Water is proud to be your water service provider, and the safety of our customers and the communities we serve is our number one priority.
On April 11, 2025, the Illinois Pollution Control Board published amendments adding new groundwater quality standards for six PFAS. PFAS are synthetic chemicals manufactured for their oil- and water-resistant properties. Their use is widespread and PFAS are in many everyday consumer products.
As part of the amendments, groundwater quality standards for PFOS and PFOA are now set at 4 parts per trillion, and all drinking water providers must comply with these new standards by April 26, 2029. We received a letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency requiring us to notify customers served by the Peoria Community Water System, Rosiclare Community Water System and Lincoln Community Water System that one groundwater sample contained levels above the regulation that is expected to be met in 2029.
Illinois American Water has the capability, experience and expertise to provide solutions that protect public health and the environment. We are a leader in addressing critical water quality and reliability challenges, including the reduction of PFAS, lead, copper and other contaminants in drinking water, and we will make the necessary treatment adjustments to comply with the new drinking water standards before the effective date of April 26, 2029.
Following this letter, you will find the required public health notice which includes details about PFAS in English and Spanish, as well as the letter Illinois American Water received from the EPA explaining the notification process. Additional information about PFAS and copies of our Water Quality Reports can be found on the Water Quality section of our website at illinoisamwater.com.
We are committed to complying with strict state and federal regulations for delivering safe, clean, and reliable drinking water. If you have any questions or concerns related to your drinking water quality, please contact our local water quality team at illinoiswaterquality@amwater.com.
Thank you,
Illinois American Water
