City Colleges of Chicago; Water Testing

Specialty Consulting, Inc. (SPC) has held an annual consultancy role with the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) for the past decade, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to ensuring water quality across all seven CCC schools and satellite campuses, including Dawson Technical Institute, Humboldt Park Education Center, and West Side Learning Center.

SPC's primary responsibilities involved comprehensive water quality testing, covering both potable water and Legionella testing. This meticulous process included conducting sampling at multiple locations within each school to ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act. SPC's sampling results were rigorously compared against applicable federal standards and industry guidelines to maintain the highest levels of safety and compliance.

A unique challenge in this ongoing collaboration is consistently managing and coordinating testing across numerous locations, each with distinct water systems and potential issues. SPC addresses this systematically utilizing advanced testing methods and adhering to stringent quality control protocols.

This long-term partnership underscores SPC's expertise and reliability in providing critical environmental services. By ensuring safe and compliant water quality standards, SPC plays a vital role in safeguarding the health and well-being of students and staff across all CCC facilities.
