Central Lake County
Joint Action Water Agency
Meeting the highest standards for quality in the production and distribution of drinking water to Central Lake County since 1992
In 2005, the Agency received the Phase IV Excellence in Water Treatment certification from the Partnership for Safe Water, identifying its staff and facilities as meeting the highest standards for quality in the production and distribution of drinking water. CLCJAWA is the third organization to be granted this prestigious recognition and the first conventional water treatment plant in the United States to achieve this distinction.
Check us out on the following sites:
CLCJAWA is actively following the recent court ruling against the U.S. EPA regarding fluoride in drinking water.
CLCJAWA and its Board of Directors are committed to delivering safe drinking water to their residents and our commitment includes producing water that meets all state and federal drinking water standards.
The Illinois Department of Public Health requires fluoridation of drinking water and the required level of fluoridation is 0.7 mg/L, a reduction from the 1.0 mg/L level required prior to 2012.
The court ruling does force the EPA to engage in a regulatory response.
We will continue to eagerly monitor the ongoing research and regulatory response related to fluoride. Residents can read about fluoride and other news making topics here.
