How does Enfield compare with other water systems in White County?
By EPA's size categories, Enfield is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). White County has 10 active public water systems, and Enfield is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 24% below the county average of 1,394 people per system, and accounts for 7.6% of the 13,941 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Illinois, the 3,872 active systems average 3,204 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Enfield is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Illinois has 1,773 active community water systems, 46% of the state's 3,872 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 619 Illinois systems (16%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Enfield?
EPA lists Enfield as owned by a local government. The IL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 9 of the 10 active systems in White County (90%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Enfield have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and February 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
