MALTA is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,143 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 1990 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 7, 6 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
