The agreement states Aqua Illinois would pay $900,000 to help eligible University Park residents replace or fix lead-contaminated fixtures.
Davida Colquitt of University Park waits as workers from Aqua Illinois fill containers with drinking water at the Community Center in 2019. Will County Judge John Anderson delayed a decision Monday on a consent order ending lawsuits against Aqua Illinois following concerns raised by some University Park residents that the $900,000 Aqua would pay for lead remediation was insufficient.
If any of the settlement money is not spent, Aqua will pay up to $200,000 in civil penalties, according to the order. Assuming most residences in University Park have lead levels that exceed the federal standard, Williams said there is not enough money for all homes to receive remediation assistance. Odelson agreed to the consent order on behalf of the village at a pre-trial settlement conference June 7, but some residents and board members expressed dissent with the decision at a village meeting June 25, Odelson said.
