Rep. Bobby Rush and Robbins Mayor Darren Bryant participated in a roundtable meeting with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, discussing water problems that have plagued the suburban village for decades.

“Robbins, along with other communities across the state, has been suffering water losses from water main breaks and poor infrastructure that we've been having to deal with for the last 40 years plus,” Bryant said.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
