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 Chicago. For customers who prefer a larger-capacity option, convenient PET bottles are also available.
The City of Chicago Department of Water Management supplies municipal drinking water from Lake Michigan. According to Chicago’s 2025 Water Quality Report, water is drawn from Lake Michigan through offshore water cribs and sent to one of two purification facilities: the Jardine Water Purification Plant, which serves northern portions of Chicago and surrounding suburbs, and the Sawyer Water Purification Plant, which serves southern portions of Chicago and surrounding suburbs. After treatment, the water enters Chicago’s distribution and pumping network for delivery to customers.
This municipal drinking-water system is separate from Verde Springs. Verde Springs delivers premium purified bottled water and does not deliver Chicago municipal water.
Chicago’s 2025 Water Quality Report lists the reported regulated water-quality measurements as passing their applicable limits or treatment requirements. For example, the report lists total trihalomethanes at 26.4 ppb against an 80 ppb maximum contaminant level, haloacetic acids at 13.8 ppb against a 60 ppb maximum contaminant level, and the highest single turbidity measurement at 0.29 NTU. The report also says required total-organic-carbon removal requirements were met.
Lead and copper are regulated differently from contaminants with traditional maximum contaminant levels. Chicago reported lead 90th-percentile results ranging from 8.2 to 9.4 ppb during its 2025 monitoring periods, below the 15 ppb Lead and Copper Rule action level, although five individual sampling sites exceeded the action level. Copper 90th-percentile results ranged from 0.52 to 0.77 ppm, below the 1.3 ppm action level, with no sites reported over the copper action level.
The 2025 report nevertheless identifies three regulatory violations. The City reported that it did not complete all required monitoring under the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule during April 2025 and again during May 2025. It also reported a Lead and Copper Rule violation because it did not certify to the Illinois EPA that required annual notifications and information had been delivered to consumers with lead, galvanized-requiring-replacement, or lead-status-unknown service lines. The report lists that Lead and Copper Rule violation as running from July 15, 2025 through March 26, 2026. These were monitoring/reporting and notification issues; they should not be confused with a reported maximum-contaminant-level exceedance.
The 2025 report provides a regulatory measure of water clarity through turbidity testing. Chicago reported that 100% of applicable monthly samples met the ≤0.3 NTU turbidity benchmark, and the highest single measurement was 0.29 NTU. Both entries were reported as passing.
The report does not provide enough information to make broad claims about how Chicago tap water tastes or smells at individual homes and businesses. Those characteristics can vary, so no unsupported citywide taste or odor claim is made here.
The Illinois EPA considers surface-water sources used by community water systems susceptible to potential contamination because contaminants can migrate into surface-water intakes. Chicago’s 2025 report notes that its offshore intakes generally reduce shoreline influence, while wet-weather flows, river reversals, wildlife around intake structures, stormwater, marinas, and shoreline sources can affect source-water susceptibility. This susceptibility is one reason surface water undergoes mandatory treatment.
Lead deserves separate consideration because lead can enter drinking water through service lines and plumbing materials rather than originating in Lake Michigan. EPA identifies lead service lines as a major potential source of lead in residential drinking water and recommends measures such as using cold water for drinking and cooking, flushing water after periods of non-use, using appropriately certified filters when needed, and replacing lead service lines.
Chicago’s 2025 report also documents five individual lead sampling sites above the 15 ppb action level even though the system-wide 90th-percentile result remained below that action level. An action-level exceedance at an individual property is not the same thing as a citywide regulatory violation or a declaration that Chicago’s municipal water is unsafe.
The Illinois EPA requires community water systems to maintain service-line material inventories and replacement plans under Illinois lead-service-line requirements. Residents concerned about their particular property should rely on City records, appropriate testing, and current official guidance rather than citywide averages alone.
Important Note: The information above is based on publicly available Consumer Confidence Reports, municipal water-quality information, and regulatory sources available at the time of publication. Chicago’s 2025 Water Quality Report shows the listed water-quality parameters passing their applicable regulatory limits or treatment requirements; however, the report also documents two Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule monitoring violations and one Lead and Copper Rule notification/certification violation. Water-quality conditions, treatment processes, regulatory requirements, and testing results may change over time. Residents seeking the most current information should consult the Chicago Department of Water Management or review the latest Consumer Confidence Report.

Chicago’s 2025 report shows that the contaminants and water-quality measurements listed in its primary results table passed the applicable regulatory limits or treatment requirements. At the same time, residents should be aware that the City documented two required-monitoring violations and a Lead and Copper Rule notification/certification violation. Lead is also an important property-level consideration: although Chicago’s system-wide 90th-percentile lead result remained below the federal action level, five individual sampling locations exceeded 15 ppb.
