East Main Force Main Rehabilitation

Lake County Public Works replaced the East Main force main in 2017. As part of the original contract, there is a requirement to televise the force main to verify that the work completed a year ago has passed the warranty period.

Water Tower Demolition

Lake County Public Works demolished the old Countryside Manor Water Tower. Built in the 1960s, it could hold up to 40,000 gallons of water. A new tower was recently built next to the old one and holds a capacity of 150,000 gallons of water. The water tower provides water to local residents, and the higher elevation of the new tower allows for much better water pressure.

Lake Michigan Water Project


A significant amount of planning and design work has been taking place to bring Lake Michigan water to the Villages of Lake Villa and Lindenhurst and to Lake County's Grandwood Park and Fox Lake Hills water systems.
