Title

Report on Forest Lake Water System Improvements

 

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.

                     The HOA Board agreed to allow the use of their Community Center for an Open House meeting with residents on March 15, 2011 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

                     A letter inviting the affected residents to the Open House was sent February 24, 2011 along with a Frequently Asked Questions handout.

                     A draft Water Supply and Sales Agreement between Aqua Illinois, the Village of Hawthorn Woods, and the County is under review and will require adoption by all parties prior to a permit application submittal to the IEPA.

                     The IEPA Compliance Commitment Agreement requires that construction of improvements be completed and an operating permit be in place by November 1, 2011.
