"Our annual reports inform customers about their water quality, the comprehensive testing we conduct, and our continuous investments in treatment technologies and infrastructure improvements."
The 2024 annual water quality report, also known as a "consumer confidence report," details the quality of water the company provides to its customers using data collected from water quality testing in its local systems between January and December 2024.
It highlights the compounds detected in treated drinking water in comparison to the compliance standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Illinois EPA.

Losli added "We take pride in the work our team does every day to deliver high-quality water. Our water quality reports are one more way we demonstrate our commitment to our customers."

These 3 Nuclear Stocks Should Be on Your Energy Radar
Nuclear energy stocks have been on a tear again after U.S. President Donald Trump signed executive orders that will facilitate the expansion of nuclear energy production, including expediting the regulatory approvals for new nuclear reactors. The Trump administration intends to reform the nuclear energy sector by overhauling the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), allowing the DoE to build nuclear reactors on federally-owned land, enhancing research at the U.S. Department of Energy and expanding domestic uranium mining and enrichment. And, Big Tech companies are seizing this opportunity to secure cheap, abundant power supplies for their power-hungry AI data centers. Shares of America's leading nuclear power plant operator, Constellation Energy Corp. (NYSE:CEG), have surged more than 15% after the company unveiled on Tuesday an agreement to sell more than 1,100 MW of nuclear power to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) from its Illinois nuclear plant for 20 years. According to The Wall Street Journal, the deal is the first deal of its kind for an operating nuclear plant in the United States, and closely mirrors a similar deal Constellation signed with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) last year. The Microsoft deal is a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) that will see Constellation Energy restart its undamaged reactor in Three Mile Island, which was undergoing deal will draw power from the main grid. However, Meta appears to have secured a better deal, with Citi's Ryan Levine estimating that the 20-year PPA is priced in the $70-$95/MWh range, considerably cheaper than Jefferies' estimate of at least $110/MWh for Microsoft's PPA, because Meta's deal '…does not offer a substantial premium for low-carbon nuclear power'. Levine has projected that ~70% of Constellation's existing nuclear plants could secure comparable datacenter deals at ~$80/MWh. Constellation is unlikely to be the only nuclear power producer that will see surging power demand under a Trump administration that refuses to put a premium on low-carbon energy. Nuclear stocks have mostly taken a breather after a scorching rally triggered by Russia's war in Ukraine. However, here are 3 nuclear stocks with significant upside. Denison Mines Corp. Consensus Price Target: $4.04 Implied 12- Month Upside Potential: 148% Denison Mines Corp.(NYSE:DNN) engages in the exploration, acquisition and development of uranium properties in Canada. Denison has become a Wall Street favorite, with BMO analyst Alexander Pearce saying the stock's price-to-net present value ratio of 0.9x is one of the most attractive in its group, with clear near-term catalysts. Denison boasts one of the sector's strongest balance sheets, critical for funding modest capital requirements for its 2.2M lbs Phoenix In-Situ Uranium Recovery project. Last month, Denison reported Q1 2024 revenue of C$1.38M, good for +66.3% Y/Y growth while quarterly loss of $0.03 per share missed the Wall Street consensus by $0.01. The company achieved ~75% completion of total engineering for Phoenix, and has committed $67 million for long-lead capital purchases. NexGen Energy Consensus Price Target: $12.85 Implied 12- Month Upside Potential: 102% NexGen Energy Ltd. (NYSE:NXE), is a Canadian exploration and development stage company that develops uranium properties in Canada. The company holds a 100% interest in the Rook I project in southwestern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, totaling an area of ~35,065 hectares. Back in March, NXE shares surged after the company revealed that recent drilling at its Rook I site intersected a rich uranium concentration at its Patterson Corridor East property, the largest development-stage uranium deposit in Canada. According to the company, drillhole RK-25-232 unveiled rich uranium concentration, making it one of the shallowest high-grade intersections at Patterson Corridor. "Discovering mineralization of this intensity so early in our 2025 program outpaces the success pattern experienced at the Arrow deposit," CEO Leigh Curyer said. Paladin Energy Consensus Price Target: $5.08 Implied 12-Month Upside Potential: 21.5% Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN TSX: PDN OTCQX:PALAF) is an independent uranium developer with a 75% stake in Namibia's Langer Heinrich Mine. Last year, Paladin acquired Canada's Fission Uranium Corp., with the company now operating an extensive portfolio of uranium assets across Canada. Paladin is positioning itself as a significant player in baseload energy provision in multiple countries across the globe and contributing to global decarbonization. Last month, Paladin reported Q3 revenue of $60.97M and GAAP EPS of $0.06. Uranium sales for the quarter were 872,000 pounds, at an average price of $69.90 per pound. The Langer Heinrich property produced 745,000 pounds of uranium, good for a 17% increase on the previous quarter's production to bring total production to over 2 million pounds in the financial year-to-date.

Suburban Chicago small business owner takes on Google over ad practices
In what amounts to a David-and-Goliath situation, a suburban small business owner is taking on Google over a beef you've likely seen in some form in the headlines. He says Google's grip on advertising is costing him millions, and the U.S. government shares his same frustrations. Bridgeview, Illinois-based Royal Home Flooring posts spiffy videos of its jobs — which sometimes spur a sale. Word-of-mouth referrals do the trick too. But owner Salah Abukhaled opened up his books to show us most of his customers come through Google. "I knew if I want to go ahead and succeed in this business, I have to be on the web," Abukhaled said. To try to be the king of flooring, Abukhaled has given the titan of tech millions of dollars for ads over the past nine years. He pays Google to tie certain keywords like "flooring," as well as users' locations, to his business. Between April and August 2023, Royal Home Flooring paid Google Ads $257 per click — totaling $693,000. His bill jumped to $958,000 — almost $1 million — during the same five-month stretch the next year. During that time, if a person's Google search led them to Royal Home Flooring, the entrepreneur was apparently charged $673 for each click. "Why am I paying this much?" Abukhaled said. Abukhaled acknowledged he was told his Google bills might be higher after switching to something called Smart Bidding, a different Google Ads marketing strategy that touts it allows users to maximize conversions, or sales. What is not clear when it comes to Smart Bidding is pricing. We could not find any basic details about cost on any of the Smart Bidding help pages from Google either. "It's crazy. I swear. I mean, we struggle enough as business owners. The cost of the materials is going up. The labor is going up too, as well," Abukhaled said, "and when your advertising cost is going to go up, who's going to eat it at the end of the day? It's the end consumer." Customer support chats to understand Abukhaled's skyrocketing monthly bills went nowhere. "They put you in this infinite, like, loop," he said. Abukhaled filed a credit card dispute against the Google Ads charges. "Without question, they just suspended my account immediately," he said. Even after all that, however, Abukhaled is still using Google — because, he says, there is no other place for him to advertise. "When you think about it. Google, they own about 95% of the search market," he said. Abukhaled feels stuck paying whatever Google wants him to pay. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed not one, but two lawsuits against Google, alleging the company is a monopoly that needs to be broken up. The government won both cases — most recently in April. A demand letter form Abukhaled can now be added to the tech giant's legal troubles. Royal Home Flooring wants an arbitrator to step in and address what it calls "a breach of good faith and fair dealing, and potentially deceptive conduct." Abukhaled said when he tells family and friends he is going after Google, "I think they take it as a joke, honestly." But he is not laughing. Quite seriously, the small business owner said he is ready for a big lift to make a big wave. He said he is confident that he is not alone. Google's press team said it could not comment because of the ongoing legal dispute. Google also would not answer CBS News Chicago's general questions about ad pricing — we were pointed to written statements the company made a month ago after accusations that it works as a monopoly. Google denies those allegations.

Bears wrap up mandatory minicamp, Coach Johnson says staying in shape is key
Thursday marked the final day of the Chicago Bears' three-day mandatory minicamp up at Halas Hall. The Bears have one more week of organized team activities next week, with head coach Ben Johnson saying the emphasis will be on young guys and special teams. So for many of the veterans, the last day of minicamp was their last organized team work until training camp in late July — and it is on them to be mentally and physically ready to go when camp opens. "We felt pretty good about what we've been able to accomplish. The onus is on our players now to take advantage of the next six weeks," said Johnson. "They've built a lot of goodwill with their bodies, conditioning-wise. We've got to continue that trend, because for us, training camp's not a get-in-shape camp, it's show-up-in-shape camp, so that we can become a good football team." Bears receiver Rome Odunze concurred that readiness will be key. "It's not, you know, a break that we're kind of all going to, you know, forget everything and forget football in a way," he said, "you know, kind of the offseason is kind of, take a little relaxation, a little mental break, so that way, when it comes to training camp, we're making strides to be in very, very good shape for the season." Odunze said he will be at Halas Hall next week for optional OTAs. He said he just turned 23 and doesn't have many other things to focus on other than getting better. Meanwhile, Johnson is known for getting tricky with his offensive play calling including — sometimes even using his offensive linemen as pass catchers. "I let those guys know—we only do this once a year, and it's an evaluation, and we'll circle back in training camp and in the season and see who we can trust to catch the ball or throw the ball, and I think there's a couple of guys on the O-line that stood out, and I think we've got some toys to work with," he said. Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent was asked if any offensive linemen got his attention as a pass catcher. "No sir," he said. "Nobody that I threw the ball to, at least." Johnson noted four standouts from minicamp, including two rookies — linebacker Ruben Hyppolite and running back Kyle Monangai.
