| Abstract/Contents: | Announces that "the Governor of Illinois signed new legislation...banning the sale and distribution of 'mercury seals' for water well pumping equipment." Explains that "the mercury ban in the new law prevents the installation of a mercury seal commonly found in the Flowserve Corporation, Bryon Jackson, Type 'H' Submersible motor, which has been installed in many water wells throughout the State of Illinois," and that "due to environmental and public health concerns, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), Division of Pollution Protection, decided to add submersible motors to the mercury ban list after several mercury spills were reported throughout the country." Concludes that "owners of water systems will be required to become compliant with the law only when installing new systems or when repairs become necessary." |
