Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Water
Quality Assurance Act.
Section 5. Purpose. It has been established by scientific
evidence that improper management of building water systems may
cause or contribute to the proliferation of opportunistic
pathogens and can result in adverse health effects and
potentially lethal disease in at-risk populations. In order to
safeguard the health and safety of the people of this State,
the General Assembly finds it necessary to provide for the
promulgation of requirements for water management and sampling
programs in health care facilities and authoritatively
establish the registration and certification of water quality
professionals and contractors.
Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Agent health department" means a certified local health
department that the Department has designated as its agent for
making inspections and investigations under Section 70.
"Building water system" means a potable or nonpotable water

physical parameters.
"Department" means the Department of Public Health.

Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act, Hospital Licensing
Act, Nursing Home Care Act, Assisted Living and Shared Housing
Act, or Community Mental Health Act.

within a water management program intended to reduce potential
exposure to opportunistic pathogens to be implemented when a
building water system is thought to be a source of
opportunistic pathogen transmission. "Immediate control
measures" include, but are not limited to, restricting
operations of building water systems, installing appropriate

SB3390 - 3 - LRB101 19108 CPF 68571 b
primary barriers to reduce the possibility of exposures,
halting new admissions, or temporarily closing an affected
building or area.
"Initial inspection" means an inspection conducted by the
Department to determine compliance with this Act and rules
adopted under this Act to assess the operation of a water
management program.
"Opportunistic pathogens" means organisms capable of
causing disease in an at-risk individual or population.

preestablished contingency responses and time frames for
execution of such actions, including, but not limited to,

water system; or
(B) a determination by the Department or an agent

SB3390 - 6 - LRB101 19108 CPF 68571 b

department that one or more cases of disease or illness
associated with opportunistic pathogens are, or may be,
associated with the health care facility; or
(2) any other conditions specified by the Department.
(c) If the Department determines that a water management
program does not include appropriate immediate control
measures or if a water management program's immediate control
measures are deemed ineffective or inappropriate by the
Department, the Department may direct the facility to
immediately implement immediate control measures as
appropriate to reduce transmission of opportunistic pathogens.
(d) A health care facility shall develop communication
plans to notify patients, residents, staff, and visitors of one
or more cases of disease or illness associated with
opportunistic pathogens. When notified by the Department or an
agent health department that one or more cases of disease or

environmental sources. Such actions shall be documented and
records shall be made available to the Department in accordance
with this Act.
(b) When remediation activities include the use of
supplemental disinfectants, or other treatment that alters
biological, physical, or chemical characteristics of water to
control for opportunistic pathogens, then building owners,
representatives of building owners, tenants, or their
