In EPA's 2023–2026 UCMR 5 testing, EAST NILES CSD measured lithium at up to 20.6 µg/L, which EPA counts as above its health reference level of 10 µg/L. That level is a screening value EPA uses to decide what to study further, not a legal limit, and this result does not change this page's water-quality summary.

Frequently Asked Questions About East Niles Tap Water
East Niles's water has 1 contaminant above EPA MCLGs. We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 2 health-based violations for EAST NILES CSD that began after its latest compliance result on file (Apr 2023): Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, Average (Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)), 2 violations, the first beginning on October 1, 2023 and the latest on January 1, 2024. Every such result predates them; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Feb 2025) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
