About Us
Water sources in our community include rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land or underground, it naturally dissolves minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials. Water can also pick up substances from animal presence or human activities.
Potential contaminants in source water may include:
- Microbial contaminants: Viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife
- Inorganic contaminants: Salts and metals occurring naturally or resulting from urban runoff, wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming
- Pesticides and herbicides: Various agricultural sources, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses
- Organic chemical contaminants: Synthetic and volatile compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, urban runoff, and septic systems
- Radioactive contaminants: Naturally occurring or resulting from oil/gas production and mining
The EPA establishes regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water supplies, while the FDA sets similar limits for bottled water. All drinking water, bottled or tap, can reasonably be expected to contain at least trace amounts of some contaminants, though their presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk.
For additional information about contaminants and potential health effects, contact the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Certain populations may be more vulnerable to water contaminants than others. Immuno-compromised individuals, including cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV/AIDS, the elderly, and infants should seek advice from healthcare providers regarding their drinking water.

Jacksonville is situated in West Central Illinois, approximately 35 miles west of Springfield (the State Capital), 235 miles southwest of Chicago, and 85 miles northeast of St. Louis. Established in 1825, it's one of Illinois' oldest communities and serves as the Morgan County seat. According to the 2010 Census, the population is 19,446.
The city features Illinois' first Governor's Mansion – the historic Duncan Mansion – beautifully located in Duncan Park. Managed by the Daughters of the American Revolution, it welcomes public visitors. Jacksonville boasts numerous historic homes along State Street and College Avenue, and has significant connections to Abraham Lincoln, who practiced law here before becoming our 16th President. Today, residents can explore this history through "Looking for Lincoln" audio tours.
Jacksonville is home to two state educational institutions (Illinois School for the Visually Impaired and Illinois School for the Deaf) and three colleges (MacMurray College, Illinois College, and Lincoln Land Community College). Illinois College holds the distinction of being the state's first degree-granting institution, while MacMurray College began as an all-female academy. These educational institutions bring diversity to the community and strengthen the local economy.
Once known as the "Athens of the Midwest" for its educational focus, Jacksonville maintains a strong manufacturing presence with companies like Reynolds Consumer Products, Nestle USA, CCK Automations, Eli Bridge Company, and others. The city's largest employer, Passavant Area Hospital, continues to provide essential healthcare services through its partnership with Memorial Health System.
