Berkeley Water Treatment
Berkeley’s Village water page says the Village purchases drinking water from the City of Chicago, with water conveyed through Melrose Park and the Hillside/Berkeley Water Commission to Berkeley residents. Windy City Water Pros can help you consider a whole-home water-treatment setup for your Berkeley home after discussing your goals and evaluating the installation. A utility report describes the public system. It is not a reading from one home's tap, where plumbing, fixtures, sample location, and existing treatment can change the experience.

LOCAL WATER NUMBERS
This report does not publish a hardness figure. Ask us to test your water instead of using a guessed number.
This Consumer Confidence Report describes the municipal water system and reported sampling results. It does not determine water conditions at an individual home, which can be affected by building plumbing, service-line material, fixtures, and local conditions.

HOMES IN THIS AREA
The 2020-2024 ACS estimate puts the median year built for Berkeley housing units at 1955, a mid-century housing era. That is context for discussing plumbing access, fixture age, and updates at a specific address, not a condition report for any one home.

Berkeley’s Village water page states that the Village purchases drinking water from the City of Chicago. It says the water travels through Melrose Park and then through the Hillside/Berkeley Water Commission to Berkeley residents, from a Lake Michigan provider.
The latest posted Village report is the 2026 Water Quality Report, whose 2025 data table lists lead at an 8.4 ppb 90th percentile, two sites over the action level, and a violation entry of N. This system sampling is not a test of water at an individual Berkeley home.
The report says Illinois EPA collected finished-water samples from Berkeley’s system in all four quarters of 2024 for 30 PFAS contaminants. It says the agency stated those contaminants were not present at concentrations greater than or equal to the UCMR5 minimum reporting levels.
Yes. Kitchen tank or tankless reverse osmosis can be included as an add-on when we install a whole-home system. We will review placement and installation details for your Berkeley home.
