MARENGO is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,572 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1977 and 2009, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2009.
Of the 5, 4 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 Lead and Copper Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
