Water comes from Rosemont water system
The Rosemont water system supplies Rosemont: about 55% of residents live in its service area. Des Plaines serves another 21%. About 31% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Des Plaines and Chicago as sellers) and serves 3,952 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Jun 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 27.0 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
