Case Study: City of Chicago protects daycare children with 120Water's testing program and field team training

City of Chicago tests 232 facilities with 120Water to launch daycare water safety program

The City of Chicago's Department of Family Support Services faced a challenge when new state regulations mandated water testing for daycares built before 2000. With no prior experience and the threat of license revocations for non-compliance, the department needed to create an entirely new testing program and educate daycare staff. They partnered with vendor 120Water for expert assistance.

120Water provided its software and sample testing kits to facilitate easy sample collection and recording. Their services team also developed user-friendly training programs and communications for daycare workers and field teams. This solution enabled the City of Chicago to test 232 facilities, collect 6,715 samples, and ship nearly 200 filters for short-term remediation, successfully establishing a baseline testing program to protect children's safety.
