Water

Lake Michigan through the commission

The Justice-Willow Springs Water Commission's 2025 report says it bought about 800 million gallons of water from the City of Chicago that year. The water is drawn from Lake Michigan, treated at Chicago's Jardine plant, carried to the commission's facility at 7000 S. Archer Road and sent out through an 85-mile water main system. The report lists no water quality violations for 2025, and the commission has not identified any known lead service lines in its system.
