How does Scapecchis compare with other water systems in Fulton County?
By EPA's size categories, Scapecchis is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Fulton County has 30 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,128 people per system, and accounts for 0.1% of the 33,849 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 Scapecchis is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. 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 Scapecchis?
EPA lists Scapecchis 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. 8 of the 30 active systems in Fulton County (27%) are also privately owned.
Does Scapecchis have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between July 1986 and March 2026. By type: 4 monitoring, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 3 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
