LOCAL WATER NUMBERS

What Burlington's report lists

For chlorine in 2025, the report lists a highest level detected of 0.8 ppm, a reported range of 0.2 to 1.48 ppm, and no violation.
The report's violations table records a 2025 Follow-Up or Routine Tap M/R (LCR) violation and states that the system failed to test drinking water for the indicated contaminant and period, so it cannot be sure of water quality during that period.

This report does not publish a hardness figure. Ask us to test your water instead of using a guessed number.

This Consumer Confidence Report describes the municipal water system and reported sampling results. It does not determine water conditions at an individual home, which can be affected by building plumbing, service-line material, fixtures, and local conditions.

Town FAQ source: Illinois EPA-generated BURLINGTON 2025 Annual Water Quality Report (2025)

Illinois EPA's 2025 Annual Water Quality Report for Burlington states that the source of drinking water used by Burlington is ground water.

What does Burlington's latest official report say about chlorine?

For chlorine in 2025, the Illinois EPA report lists a highest level detected of 0.8 ppm, a reported range of 0.2 to 1.48 ppm, and no violation for that entry.

Yes. Kitchen tank or tankless reverse osmosis can be included as an add-on when we install a whole-home system. We will review placement and installation details for your Burlington home.
