(a)(1) Findings. The General Assembly finds that carcinogenic volatile organic compounds have been detected in a number of community water systems in this State. The General Assembly further finds that it is in the best interest of the people of the State of Illinois to require owners and operators of community water systems to remove carcinogenic volatile organic compounds from finished water before their maximum contaminant levels are exceeded.
(2) Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to prevent carcinogenic volatile organic compounds from exceeding their maximum contaminant levels in the finished water of community water systems by requiring owners and operators of community water systems to take appropriate action when carcinogenic volatile organic compounds are detected in finished water.
(b) For purposes of this Section:
(1) “Carcinogen” means carcinogen as defined in
