Drinking water in Elmwood Park, Illinois is delivered through 1 EPA-regulated community water system serving an estimated 25,000 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.
