Many customers choose Verde Springs because they appreciate the clean, crisp taste that comes from drinking water stored in glass. Glass preserves the character of the water without affecting flavor, making it a preferred choice for those who value a more refined drinking experience
Our imported Italian glass bottles bring together exceptional presentation and everyday practicality, offering a premium hydration solution for homes, offices, restaurants, and workplaces throughout Lake Forest. For customers who prefer a larger-capacity option, convenient PET bottles are also available.
The Lake Forest Water Plant uses surface water from Lake Michigan. According to the City’s 2025 Annual Water Quality Report, the water is drawn through 42-inch and 24-inch intake pipelines. The plant produced approximately 1.290 billion gallons during the 2025 calendar year.
The report does not provide a detailed, step-by-step description of the City’s treatment process. It does confirm the use of filtration and disinfectants, including chlorine to control microbes, and states that the system met its monthly total-organic-carbon removal requirements.
The City states that drinking water supplied by the Lake Forest Water Plant met or surpassed federal and state drinking-water standards during 2025. The City’s official report announcement repeats that compliance finding.
The report lists no violations for chlorine, haloacetic acids, total trihalomethanes, turbidity, barium, fluoride, nitrate, combined radium, copper, or lead. However, the lead results require additional context:
An action level is different from a maximum contaminant level. Exceeding a lead action level can trigger treatment, monitoring, public education, service-line, or other regulatory requirements; it does not automatically mean the City reported an MCL violation. The report includes a public notice about the potential health effects of lead and directs residents to the City’s lead-service-line inventory and its Water Plant staff for current tap-sampling information.
Copper results remained below the applicable action level. The reported copper 90th percentile was 0.388 parts per million, compared with an action level of 1.3 parts per million, and no sampling sites exceeded that level.
Lake Forest uses chlorine as a disinfectant to control microbes. The highest reported chlorine level was 1.1 parts per million, with a detected range of 0.9 to 1.2 parts per million. The maximum residual disinfectant level was 4 parts per million, and the report lists no violation.
Because chlorine is used in treatment, some customers may notice a disinfectant-related taste or odor. The report does not document how frequently residents experience this or characterize its intensity.
The City also monitors turbidity, which measures cloudiness caused by suspended particles and helps indicate the effectiveness of filtration and disinfection. The highest single turbidity measurement was 0.03 NTU, compared with a treatment-technique limit of 1 NTU. The system also reported that 100% of monthly measurements met the 0.3 NTU requirement. No turbidity violation was reported.
The Illinois EPA considers surface-water supplies susceptible to potential pollution because contaminants can migrate toward water intakes. Lake Forest’s intake system was characterized as moderately sensitive to potential pollution. The report says there were no potential sources within the City’s critical assessment zone, although several existed within the immediate source-water area. Land use, possible pollution sources, and the proximity of storm-sewer outfalls were identified as susceptibility factors. The report also states that Lake Forest’s treatment has been protective of consumers, based on its finished-water history.
Lead is an important local consideration because it can enter water through service lines and building plumbing. The report advises residents to identify and remove lead-containing plumbing materials where present, flush stagnant water before drinking, and consider a filter certified to reduce lead. Residents concerned about their water are directed to contact the Lake Forest Water Plant about testing and the most recent lead tap-sampling results.
The report’s PFAS section says that PFAS were detected above an Illinois EPA health advisory level during a 2021 statewide investigation and that follow-up monitoring was being conducted. Its 2025 PFAS table reports:
The table does not specify the measurement unit beside these values, so the 2.2 result should not be assigned a unit without further documentation. The report also does not state that the January 2025 result constituted a regulatory violation.
The report advises that immunocompromised people, some older adults, infants, and others who may be especially vulnerable to microbial contaminants should seek guidance from their healthcare providers.
Important Note: The information above is based on the City of Lake Forest’s publicly available 2025 Annual Water Quality Report and official report announcement. According to the City, drinking water supplied by the Lake Forest Water Plant met or surpassed applicable federal and state drinking-water standards during the reporting period.
The report also documents a 90th-percentile lead result above the federal action level and 14 individual sampling sites over that level, while identifying the result as not constituting a reported violation. Action levels, maximum contaminant levels, health advisories, and independent health-based guidelines are different standards and should not be interpreted as interchangeable.
Water-quality conditions, treatment methods, sampling results, health advisories, service-line information, and regulations may change. Conditions within an individual building’s service line or plumbing may also affect water at the tap. Residents should consult the City of Lake Forest Water Plant and the latest Consumer Confidence Report for current information.
Lake Forest municipal water is separate from the premium purified water delivered by Verde Springs. Verde Springs does not deliver municipal water and does not sell spring water.
Sources used:
Lake Forest’s 2025 report states that the municipal drinking-water supply met or surpassed federal and state standards. The system draws water from Lake Michigan and reported no violations in its tables for disinfectants, disinfection by-products, turbidity, copper, lead, or the other regulated substances listed.
At the same time, residents should understand the report’s lead findings. The 90th-percentile lead result was above the 15-parts-per-billion action level, and 14 sites had individual results above that level, although the City did not classify the result as a violation. Lead can be associated with service lines and household plumbing, so property-specific conditions and testing may matter. The report also documents one PFOA detection in January 2025 followed by three sampling dates on which PFOA and PFOS were not detected.
