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.

Does Meridian Village have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2012. The violations listed here began between May 2000 and April 2012.
