EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,500 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 1977 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 7, 5 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
