New testing finds Legionella and chlorine concerns in Illinois town's water investigation

New testing in Beaverville found Legionella bacteria in one home’s plumbing and no detectable chlorine residual in two homes, raising concerns about the village water system. Virginia Tech expert Marc Edwards conducted the tests, and Illinois regulators say the village received a violation notice over low chlorine levels in a distribution-system sample. Legionella was found only in one residence; officials have not established a link between the water and any illness.
