Mattoon is a large public water system in EPA region 5 that provides tap water for the 61938 zip codes. It has 6 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 0.6 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 45.74 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1.72 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Mattoon water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level.
