 The
Bureau of Water (BOW) is composed of two divisions, Division of
Water Pollution Control and the Division of Public Water Supply.
The purpose of the Division of Water Pollution Control (DWPC) is
to assure that "no person shall cause or threaten or allow
the discharge of any contaminants into the environment ... so
as to cause water pollution in Illinois..." The water pollution
control program is designed to identify sources of water pollution
and implement steps to abate the pollution. Pollution can come
from municipal, industrial, and commercial discharges as well
as non-point sources from urban and agricultural runoff.
The Division of Public Water Supply (DPWS) is mandated by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Act to "protect the public from
disease and to assure an adequate supply of pure water for all
beneficial uses." The DPWS attempts to assure that all persons
served by community water supplies receive water that is adequate
in quantity, safe in quality, clean, and of satisfactory mineral
character for domestic consumption.
