About Us
The Aurora Water Treatment Plant draws water from two primary sources: surface water from the Fox River and groundwater from several shallow and deep wells that access the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system. The facility has impressive capabilities, with treatment capacity reaching 36.5 million gallons daily.
Water undergoes a comprehensive treatment process where Fox River water combines with well water before lime softening, fluoridation, filtration, and disinfection. The treated water moves to storage reservoirs with 6 million gallon capacity before distribution through the city's network of pipes ranging from 4 to 36 inches in diameter.
The system includes nine storage tanks throughout Aurora providing 17.5 million gallons of storage to maintain consistent pressure and supply. An Illinois EPA source water assessment completed in 2003 rated the Fox River source as vulnerable to contamination, as is typical for surface water supplies in Illinois.
The shallow well water source has been identified as susceptible to volatile organic chemical (VOC) and synthetic organic chemical (SOC) contamination due to the unconfined nature of the sand and gravel aquifer. The deep well water source shows greater resistance to VOC and SOC contaminants. For more information, residents can contact the Water Production Department at (630) 256-3250 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Aurora Drinking Water Company and EPAAurora Drinking Water Report Info
Joseph McCarty established the first settlement in what is now Aurora in April 1834, building the first pit fire on an island that later became downtown Aurora. Recognizing the Fox River area's potential, he invited his brother Samuel to join him, and they established a permanent settlement initially called McCarty Mills, named after their grist mill and sawmill operations.
In 1837, when postal service arrived, the settlement was renamed Aurora after the goddess of dawn. The city later earned its nickname "City of Lights" by becoming the first in the United States to use electric lights for comprehensive public illumination.
From these humble beginnings, Aurora has steadily grown into Illinois' second-largest city, with the 2010 census recording a population of 197,899 residents. The city continues to develop while maintaining connections to its historic roots through preservation efforts.
