Elgin Water Lead Update and Fixes | Chicago News

Elgin’s water lead levels hit a concerning threshold—but there’s good news: new treatments and pipe replacements are making progress. Recent tests found 10% of homes exceeded the legal limit, but thanks to orthophosphate added to water since 2025 and ongoing public-private pipe replacements, results are actually better than last time. Residents can get free testing and filters, and a city dashboard tracks progress—call 311 or the city line for help.
