TOWER HILL is one of 1,572 community water systems in Illinois in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 500 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1977 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.

Of the 12, 8 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
