Is FORD HEIGHTS required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. FORD HEIGHTS is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.

When is FORD HEIGHTS’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

FORD HEIGHTS’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.

FORD HEIGHTS Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

FORD HEIGHTS must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 5 items for FORD HEIGHTS that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Illinois’s official records. Always confirm current status with Illinois before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): IL0310720
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,813
Service connections: 694
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

FORD HEIGHTS is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,813 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 109 entries between 1977 and 2025, of which 5 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 109, 88 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and volatile organic chemicals.

Common questions

Is FORD HEIGHTS required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?: Yes. FORD HEIGHTS is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.
When is FORD HEIGHTS’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?: FORD HEIGHTS’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.
Does FORD HEIGHTS have any open drinking water violations on record?: As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 5 items for FORD HEIGHTS that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.
What is a Consumer Confidence Report?: A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
