The piece notes 1994 to 1996 samples show one in eight Illinois residents on questionable water, with high lead and bacterial contamination in several suburbs and schools. It stresses shared responsibility among towns, voters, and residents to replace lead pipes and fund improvements while noting aging systems and growth hinder progress.
