IDPH: Office of Health Protection

Professional services are needed to supplement the day care lead in water testing activities conduced in Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS)-licensed facilities serving children birth to six years of age. While most lead exposure is attributed to lead paint and lead dust, recent activities in Flint, MI have reinforced the necessity to test lead in water as a potential source of childhood exposure in DCFS licensed day care facilities. To protect Illinois children from possible exposure to lead in drinking water, Public Act 99-0922 was signed into law January 16, 2017 requiring day care facilities to sample for lead contamination in water. With the funding appropriated under section 1464(d) of the Safe Drinking Water Act and amended by the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIN) section 2107, Illinois Department of Health (IDPH), in collaboration with DCFS and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), plans to support the ongoing legislative requirement for lead in water testing in DCFS-licensed day care facilities throughout the state. This includes the prioritization of facilities serving younger children (ages 6 and under), underserved and low-income communities, and facilities that are older and more likely to contain lead plumbing, including those built prior to January 1, 2000
