Palos Hills’ current municipal report says the City uses purchased surface water supplied through Oak Lawn and the City of Chicago, with Lake Michigan as Chicago’s source water. That report provides useful system context, but it is not a water test for a particular Palos Hills home. A utility report describes the public system. It is not a reading from one home's tap, where plumbing, fixtures, sample location, and existing treatment can change the experience.
