In addition, Plaintiff has adequately alleged the Warden was aware of the systematic problem with water quality at the correctional center. See Riley v. Illinois, 2014 WL 3396531, * 4 (N.D. Ill. July 10, 2014) (allowing claim pertaining to potentially systemic water contamination at Stateville to proceed against the warden and IDOC director); (Truidalle v. Taylor, 2011 WL 6780690, *6 (N.D. Ill Dec. 23, 2011) (same). Plaintiff has not articulated a claim against the American Water Company or the City of Pontiac.
Further, because Plaintiff's claim involves "potentially systemic," rather than "clearly localized," constitutional violations, the warden(s) who were in place during Plaintiff's incarceration at Vienna may also be held to answer for the alleged problems with contaminated water at the facility. See e.g., Antonelli v. Sheahan, 81 F.3d 1422, 1428-29 (7th Cir. 1996); see also, Huff v. Lashbrook, 2018 WL 3546765, *3-4 (S.D. Ill. July 24, 2018) (allowing claim pertaining to potentially systemic water contamination at Menard to proceed against former wardens and IDOC director); Riley v. Illinois, 2014 WL 3396531, * 4 (N.D. Ill. July 10, 2014) (allowing claim pertaining to potentially systemic water contamination at Stateville to proceed against the warden and IDOC director); (Truidalle v. Taylor, 2011 WL 6780690, *6 (N.D. Ill Dec. 23, 2011) (same). Therefore, Plaintiff will be allowed to proceed on Count 1 of the Amended Complaint.
See e.g., Antonelli v. Sheahan, 81 F.3d 1422, 1428-29 (7th Cir. 1996). See also Riley v. Illinois, 2014 WL 3396531, * 4 (N.D. Ill. July 10, 2014) (allowing claim pertaining to potentially systemic water contamination at Stateville to proceed against the warden and IDOC director); (Truidalle v. Taylor, 2011 WL 6780690, *6 (N.D. Ill Dec. 23, 2011) (same). A more fully developed record may refute Plaintiff's allegations.
