Rochelle – Rochelle Municipal Utilities announced that the newest tool in removing radium from Rochelle water is now officially online.
In the Spring of 2016, RMU received notice that Well 11, located near Rochelle Township High School, had exceeded allowable contaminant levels of radium. To stay within the state statutes, the city subsequently entered into a compliance commitment agreement with the IEPA and adopted a timeline of events to return the well to compliance.
Additional testing was completed on the well and ultimately it was taken offline until a radium removal facility could be built at that location.
