    Compliance

    0health-based violations in the last 10 years

    From EPA SDWIS. A clean violation history means no enforcement action was recorded; it does not cover contaminants without a limit.

    Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

    No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.

    A federal limit (an MCL or action level) is an enforceable legal cap; a health goal is often stricter. Meeting the limit is a compliance fact, not a health clearance, and PurityMap publishes no overall compliance verdict.

    Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

      • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

      What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Who does HICKORY HILLS serve?

    HICKORY HILLS (PWS ID IL0311200) is a public water system serving 14,505 people in Hickory Hills, Illinois.

    Where does HICKORY HILLS get its water?

    HICKORY HILLS is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

    What does HICKORY HILLS's monitoring record show?

    PurityMap's record for HICKORY HILLS holds 31 findings: 31 not detected, from 31 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

    Is HICKORY HILLS's water safe to drink?

    PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes HICKORY HILLS's measured results against each contaminant's benchmark so you can read them in context. Safety depends on the specific finding, your plumbing, and how the water reaches your tap.

    How current is this HICKORY HILLS data?

    The latest published record for HICKORY HILLS is dated 2026-10-15. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.

    Does this assessment represent my home's tap water?

    No. It is assessed at the water-system level from HICKORY HILLS's own monitoring. It does not cover the service line to your building or the plumbing inside it, which can add lead and other metals after the water leaves the system. A tap test is the way to know what reaches your glass.

    What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.
