Lemont (IL) Water Quality

Lemont is a large public water system in EPA region 5 that provides tap water for the 60439 zip codes. It has 14 facilities where the water supply was tested for 75 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 0.59 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 0.345 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 9.35 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Lemont water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level.
