EJ WATER COOPERATIVE is one of 225 community water systems in Illinois in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 29,720 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 29 entries between 1998 and 2026, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 29, 23 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
