ALBANY is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 846 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 38 entries between 1994 and 2026, of which 1 health-based item remains open, alongside 2 other open entries.

Of the 38, 24 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
