How does Midway Tap compare with other water systems in Tazewell County?
By EPA's size categories, Midway Tap is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Tazewell County has 83 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,557 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 129,226 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Illinois, the 3,872 active systems average 3,204 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Midway Tap is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Illinois has 1,703 active transient non-community water systems, 44% 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 Midway Tap?
EPA lists Midway Tap as under public/private ownership. 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. 6 of the 83 active systems in Tazewell County (7.2%) are also under public/private ownership.
Does Midway Tap have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2019. The violations listed here began between July 1989 and January 2019. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 as archived. 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. 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.
