How does Horizons Child Care compare with other water systems in Fayette County?
By EPA's size categories, Horizons Child Care is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Fayette County has 11 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,654 people per system, and accounts for 0.9% of the 18,196 people reported by systems filed under the county.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Illinois has 396 active non-transient non-community water systems, 10% of the state's 3,872 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,808 Illinois systems (73%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Horizons Child Care?
EPA lists Horizons Child Care as privately owned. 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. 4 of the 11 active systems in Fayette County (36%) are also privately owned.
Does Horizons Child Care have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and March 2026. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived, 3 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
