HILLS -- Federal officials announced Wednesday that they will make one of their last major testing attempts next week to find the source for groundwater contamination.

"We still think fireworks are a likely source, but we haven't confirmed that," said Craig Smith, project leader with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7.

He then suggested the community explore a permanent central supply source for water. Smith said the EPA's "primary concern" is whether shallow groundwater contamination might taint the deeper aquifer.
