System facts

System ID (PWSID): IL0975780
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 3,600
Service connections: 1,460
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

FOX LAKE PLANT 2 is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, formerly serving 3,600 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2022; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 44 entries between 1977 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.

All 44 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
