Local Questions
Countryside water-treatment questions
What source does Countryside list for its drinking water?
Countryside's official 2025 Consumer Confidence Report says the City purchased treated water from the Village of McCook. It states that McCook sources the water from Chicago's Jardine Water Purification Plant, which draws from Lake Michigan.
How much water did Countryside purchase in 2025?
The City's 2025 CCR states that Countryside purchased approximately 545 million gallons of treated water from the Village of McCook during 2025. That is public-system information, not a measurement of water use or conditions at a particular Countryside home.
What does Countryside's 2025 CCR say about HAA5 and TTHM monitoring?
The report documents missed quarterly testing for Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), calling this a monitoring violation. It says follow-up samples were completed on August 21, 2025 and found to be in compliance with regulatory standards.
Does the Countryside CCR tell me what equipment my home needs?
No. Countryside's CCR provides public-system information, including the McCook and Lake Michigan supply path, but it is not proof of conditions, hardness, contaminants, or treatment needs at a specific home. We discuss your Countryside home's goals and setup before recommending an option.
