KANKAKEE CORRECTIONAL CENTER is one of 1,572 community water systems in Illinois in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 210 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2010; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 18 entries between 1977 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.

Of the 18, 10 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
