This is a link to the 2024 Water Quality report on Bloomington’s website: https://www.bloomingtonil.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/24534/638878274396400000
It shows no violations for contaminants detected.
This is a more comprehensive report from 2024 on Bloomington’s water quality. It was published by Environmental Working Group (EWG) in Washington DC. https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php?pws=IL1130200

Educated guess..pretty sure every County village and rural cities handling in a similar way….Very deceptive compliance and reporting practices (trust the data)…You pay a lot for this..and “safe” water you can’t drink.
