Hanover Park's official 2025 Water Quality Report says the Village normally provides 100% Lake Michigan water through the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency and the City of Chicago. That local public-system context is a useful starting point, but it is not a test of water or plumbing at your Hanover Park 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.
Under normal operating conditions, the Village reports that it receives 100% Lake Michigan water from the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency through the City of Chicago; its groundwater wells are emergency backup sources.
The 2025 report states that Hanover Park normally provides residents with 100% Lake Michigan water and receives 100% of its water from the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency through the City of Chicago.
The report says the Village maintains four groundwater wells as an emergency source; during an April 2025 primary-provider maintenance shutdown, the wells supplied 0.005% of the year's total water production.
This report does not publish a hardness figure. Ask us to test your water instead of using a guessed number.
This municipal Consumer Confidence Report describes the public water system and reported monitoring. It is not proof of water conditions, contaminants, hardness, plumbing materials, treatment needs, or compliance at a particular Hanover Park home.
The 2020-2024 ACS estimate puts the median year built for Hanover Park housing units at 1976, a late twentieth-century housing era. That is context for discussing plumbing access, fixture age, and updates at a specific address, not a condition report for any one home.
We discuss your household priorities, plumbing setup, and water goals before recommending a whole-home approach. The Village report alone does not establish what treatment, if any, a specific Hanover Park property needs.
