Sustainable Water & Wastewater Infrastructure

Kankakee County is supported by an extensive water system anchored by Aqua Illinois, which serves most of the county’s industrial and residential communities—including the City of Kankakee; Aroma Park; Bourbonnais; Bradley; Grant Park; Limestone; Manteno; Sun River Terrace; and surrounding township areas. With proximity to the Kankakee River, the region benefits from a nearly unlimited long-term water supply, reinforced by strong municipal management and dependable daily pumping and treatment capacity. This combination delivers reliable service today with room for future industrial growth.

  • The average flow that goes by the Kankakee Water Treatment plant is 4 billion gallons per day. Aqua pulls less than 0.003% of that flow.
  • The Joseph Donovan Water Treatment Plant is capable of delivering 30 million gallons per day (MGD) of water. Average is approximately 12 MGD.
