Grants
Special projects that cannot be addressed through routine means are accomplished through grants. The Environmental Health Division has
received grants for a radon study and radon education, for the trapping and testing of mosquitoes for West Nile Virus, and to address longterm
community developments needs, such as sewer and water extension. Additional information regarding
West Nile Virus can be found at
IDPH's web site, www.idph.state.il.us.
Once at the IDPH home page choose the following path: "Laws & Rules" > "Current Laws & Rules" >
"Environmental Occupations & Programs" > "Vector Control & Arbovirus Surveillance".

In addition, the Environmental Health Division is a sponsor on a grant proposal to phase in municipal and water sewer to a section of homes
in Joliet Township that are requesting our assistance.
