About Us
The Palos Heights community water system purchases water from an additional supplier. The information below relates to that supply's source water quality. The Illinois EPA considers all surface water sources serving public systems vulnerable to potential contamination, as surface water allows contaminants to migrate into intakes with only dilution as protection.
Chicago's offshore water intakes are positioned at distances where shoreline impacts are typically minimal. However, during certain seasons, contamination risks increase due to wet-weather flows and river reversals. The intake structures may attract waterfowl and birds common to the Great Lakes region, potentially concentrating waste deposits near the intake and affecting source water quality.
The shoreline intakes face higher vulnerability to stormwater runoff, marina activities, and coastal pollution sources due to groundwater flow into the lake. Historically, significant measures have been implemented to safeguard the Chicagoland water supply, including offshore crib construction, interceptor sewer systems, the Chicago River lock-and-dam network, and the city's Waterfront Zoning Ordinance.
Currently, the city relies on the Division of Water Management, Department of Environment, and MWRDGC to ensure water supply safety. Chicago water officials actively participate in the West Shore Water Producers Association, regularly discussing water quality incidents (spills, tanker leaks, invasive species) and general lake conditions during quarterly meetings.
Lake Michigan benefits from various organizations working to maintain or improve water quality. One effective approach to protecting water sources is developing local programs to guard against potential contaminants. Since urban development dominates Illinois' Lake Michigan watershed, most protection activities focus on urban concerns. Residents should understand how everyday urban activities can impact their water source. Identifying and marking storm drains within a watershed, combined with educational outreach, helps maintain lake water as a safe, reliable resource.
