MELVIN is one of 1,572 community water systems in Illinois in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 200 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 1977 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.
All 7 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
