The dissolution of the Lakes Region Sanitary District is officially complete. In 2019, Lake County announced the consolidation that allowed LCPW to assume the operations and mai
ntenance of the District while transferring more than 6,000 customers, 20 lift stations, 82 miles of sewer pipe, and 2,060 manholes to LCPW.
The Lakes Region Sanitary District Tax Levy has been eliminated which will collectively save taxpayers that own property within the District boundaries approximately $1.25 million annually. Before consolidation, the District served portions of Fox Lake, Lake Villa, Volo, Round Lake, Round Lake Beach and unincorporated areas near those communities since the 1970s.
