BETHALTO – Discolored water continues to raise concerns in Bethalto, where a state agency has tested and determined the water to be safe. Amid ongoing collaboration between the state and village, some residents remain unconvinced Bethalto officials are doing all they can to address the issue. Public Works Director Rod Cheatham said the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has extensively tested water samples from around the village in recent weeks, and the results from each of those tests show levels of iron and manganese below the state’s Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). He said three individual water customers also requested testing directly from the IEPA, which showed the same results. Cheatham said the village also conducted its own tests for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on Oct. 7, 2025, which all came back clear. He said he and IEPA representatives have been meeting via Zoom to discuss possible financial assistance options
