Eight Lake County communities, plus the county itself, will make presentations before the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to state their cases for extension of Lake Michigan water to to the northwestern areas of the county. The presentations begin today, January 13 and continue into the next day. The communities involved are Antioch, Lindenhurst, Lake Villa, Fox Lake, Volo, Wauconda, Lake Zurich and Long Grove. Hawthorn Woods plans to apply later.
Plans call for pipes stretching 57 miles west and south from the Lake Michigan intake operated by the Lake County Public Water District in Zion. The system would cost an estimated $252 million, and could be operational as early as 2014 if the allocation is approved.
