A cross connection is an unprotected or improper connection to the public water distribution system, that may cause contamination or pollution to enter the system. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) are responsible for enforcing cross-control regulations. Every customer served by the public water system must be surveyed. This survey includes identifying what plumbing fixtures are present in the home or business, and what uses the water is being put to.  This survey is required by the IEPA, and must be completed by all water customers.

Mayor's Message

Dear Friends and Visitors: Du Quoin welcomes you!  Whether you live and work here, or are visiting to enjoy one of our many events and activities, you have come to a town where the people are knowingly friendly and caring, and always helpful. Du Quoin is a happening place.  For decades this town of just over 6000 people has been know across the country for its hospitality and resources.  Ask a NASCAR driver where Du Quoin is, he’ll tell you.  Run into some Airstream campers in California, they’ll tell you about their stay in Du Quoin.  Horse racing, auto racing, cattle roping, rodeo bull riding, sports tournaments, flea markets, shining holiday lights, home shows, NubAbility training, a great State Fair, and more—it all happens in Du Quoin. And, Du Quoin has a real downtown, a historic downtown.  Our residents have devoted their energy and work to maintaining a picturesque and authentic downtown.  The City has kept the infrastructure up to date, and newly paved roads welcome our residents and guests.  If you walk along Main Street, it will be impossible for you to stay out of the shops and restaurants. Marshall Browning Hospital, the Middle School and High School, they are all new and utilize the latest technology.  The churches of Du Quoin serve the major faiths.  Keyes Park will help entertain the children.  This Town of six thousand people has all the resources a person would need.  But, it has another asset not found everywhere.  Du Quoin is a small town with welcoming warmth, and it is always friendly and safe. It is an honor to serve as Mayor of Du Quoin.  As Mayor it is my task and intent to serve the needs of our residents, guests and visitors.  If you need to know anything about our “doing” town, there are numbers of ways to find an answer.  Call the City Hall, 618-542-3841.  Go to: http://www.duquointourism.org.  Call the Chamber of Commerce at 618-542-9570, or the Tourism Commission at 618-542-8338.  Contact me personally at guyalongi@duquoin.org.  Whether you are a resident or visitor, enjoy Du Quoin
