Under the guidelines of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, Lake County Public Works strives to conserve public funds and ensure fairness to vendors by procuring quality commodities, services and construction at competitive prices.
The Department of Public Works Capital Improvement Program identifies funding to plan, design and construct projects that are necessary to preserve, modernize and expand the water and waste water systems under the jurisdiction of Lake County government.
The project is complete. Lake Michigan water has been provided to the Villages of Lindenhurst and Lake Villa, and the unincorporated areas of Grandwood Park and Fox Lake Hills.
Phase 1 of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program began in 1990 and required medium and large municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) to obtain NPDES coverage.
Lake County Public Works (LCPW) is proactive in maintaining our infrastructure, which includes routine cleaning of sanitary sewer pipes. Cleaning and maintenance of this pipe will ensure continued service and eliminate environmental impacts due to failure.
