Background
The Village of Plainfield constructed and started operation of the water system in 1898. Since that time, the Village has been committed to providing high quality water
service to our residents. In April of 2004, the community began receiving treated Lake Michigan water as our source supply. The Plainfield water system currently
consists of one lake water metering station, 2 miles of water transmission main, one pressure station, one treatment facility, five water towers, 2,100 fire hydrants,
and over 140 miles of water distribution main. (Three groundwater wells remain on standby status to be utilized in the event of an emergency). Water samples are
analyzed on a daily basis to ensure water quality. We provide drinking water to over 20,000 people in the Village and maintain sufficient water levels, in the towers,
to provide fire protection for our residential, commercial, and industrial users.
