Staff Summary

•                     County representatives made a presentation to the Forest Lake Homeowners Association Board on February 8th to explain the need for water system improvements and the impact on the 72 users of the system.

•                     The most cost effective and recommended alternative is to install a connection to the Aqua Illinois Water Main on Old McHenry Road and purchase water from Aqua for distribution through the County’s system.
