The latest Lakewood Water System Annual Water Quality Report (January 1 to December 31, 2025) says Lakewood's public water system met the standards described in that report. 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.

LOCAL WATER NUMBERS
What Lakewood's report lists
- The 2025 total-coliform table reports zero total-coliform positives, zero E. coli or fecal-coliform positive samples, and no violation.
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.

HOMES IN THIS AREA
Lakewood's housing age context
The 2020-2024 ACS estimate puts the median year built for Lakewood housing units at 1999, 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.

Local Questions
Lakewood water treatment questions
Where does Lakewood's municipal water come from?
Lakewood's 2025 Annual Water Quality Report identifies groundwater as the Lakewood Water System's source. It lists Wells 1, 3, 4, and 6 as active groundwater wells and Well 5 as emergency backup.
What does the Lakewood report say about PFAS?
The report says 18 PFAS compounds were sampled during the 2021 Illinois statewide investigation and none were detected in Lakewood's finished drinking water. That stated result is for the public system's finished water, not a test of water at your Lakewood home.
Does the Village report tell me what is happening at my tap?
Not by itself. Lakewood's report describes the municipal system and reported samples; water at a particular Lakewood home can also be affected by that home's plumbing, service-line material, fixtures, and local conditions.
Can I add reverse osmosis for kitchen drinking water in Lakewood?
Yes. A tank or tankless reverse-osmosis system for kitchen drinking water can be added only when we are doing whole-home work. We will review placement and installation details for your Lakewood home.
