Monitoring Violations Annual Notice Template
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Monitoring Requirements Not Met for Village of DeSoto
Our water system violated several drinking water standards over the past year. Even though these were not emergencies, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct these situations.
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the 07/01/2024 to 09/30/2024 period, we ‘did not monitor or test' within the deadline required by EPA standards for TTHM or Total Haloacetic Acids (HAAS) and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time.
What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time.
The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last quarter, how often we are supposed to sample for TTHM and Total Haloacetic Acids (HAAS), how many samples we are supposed to take, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on which follow-up samples were (or will be) taken.
Contaminant Required Sampling frequency # of samples taken When samples were or will be taken
TTHM quarterly 8 August 1-15, 2024 August 19, 2024
HAA5 quarterly 8 August 1-15, 2024 August 19, 2024
What happened? What is being done?
For future reference, we will be completing quarterly sampling by the first of the month to the fifth of the month four our quarterly sampling to stay in compliance with the Special Exemption Permit (SEP). For more information, please contact Danny Vancil at 618-867-2315 or by mailing Village of DeSoto, PO Box 467, DeSoto, IL 62924.
Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this posting this notice in a public place or distribuing copies by hand or mail.
This notice is being sent to you by Village of DeSoto, Danny Vancil, Director of Public Works.

RE: SIAP Electric Aggregation Update - New Rates for June being Finalized - Ameren Price-to-Compare Announced

Hello Everyone,
The Ameren IL Price to Compare for October 1, 2024 — May 31, 2025 has come in at $0.0809/kWh. This is a slight decline to their summer rate this year, the first time we have seen the non-summer rate decrease in the past 5 years. Our Homefield Energy aggregation rate remains at $0.091/kWh through the June 2025 meter readings. Unfortunately, we cannot make any changes to our rate until the current term ends.
If residents do wish to opt-out of the aggregation programs at this time, they should contact Homefield Energy at 866-694-1262 to request to be removed from the program. This still does come with a minimum stay requirement of remining on Ameren's supply for a total of 12-months before they would be eligible to rejoin the aggregation program in the future.
For comparison sake, a resident using 800 kWh's a month right now would pay $72.80/month as a part of our aggregation program with Homefield Energy. If that same resident using 800 kWh's a month opted out and returned to Ameren's electric supply service, they would be paying $64.72/month. A difference of $8.08/month by using Ameren vs our current aggregation rate.
Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns. We do anticipate that our programs will return to savings in the future, but at present we will be higher for the next 8-month period.
Thank you,
Jordan Haarmann
