There is nothing particularly complex about having the state environmental agency (IEPA) inform the public about hazardous drinking water, or nearby contaminants, soon after it learns about the situation. Local officials, spurred by Lt. Governor Pat Quinn are finally moving on this issue, trying to legally force the IEPA to do what seems like common sense. While it comes too late for people in Lisle, Woodridge and Downers Grove, who have had to avail themselves of the courts, it can’t be done too soon for others.
