The Public Works Department provides resources to assist homeowners in understanding the water treatment and delivery process, as well as identifying any potential areas of concern within the home's plumbing system, including the presence of lead service lines.
The City's lead and copper testing program relies on volunteers from single-family homes with lead service lines to collect a water sample that can be tested for lead and copper. If you have a lead service line and would like to join our lead and copper testing program, please contact the Water Plant at 847.433.4355 or via email at waterplant@cityhpil.com.
Not sure if you have a lead service line? Check out the video below to learn how to locate and identify the composition of your water service lines. More information is also available at cityhpil.com/leadinformation.
