As Lake County Facilities continues to modernize equipment at the Lake County Jail, there will be a preplanned partial shut-off of the water. The water will be shut-off to a small portion of the jail in the morning on Tuesday, December 18th. Contractors plan to turn the water back on within two-three hours after the shut-off. The partial water shut-off is required to allow contractors to connect new sanitary lines.
During this time, inmates in cells impacted by the shut-off will be moved, should they need to utilize the restroom.
The inconveniences created by the construction work will result in a modernized jail facility, which will help ensure the safety of inmates and correctional officers.
