Illinois regional water guide

Lake County and the Illinois-Wisconsin Border

Lake County communities with a mix of direct Lake Michigan systems, purchased surface water, groundwater systems and cross-border regional context.

Regional context

Use the regional hub, then verify the exact property

Lake County communities with a mix of direct Lake Michigan systems, purchased surface water, groundwater systems and cross-border regional context. The city pages below identify provider and source-water research starting points, but the current bill and PWSID remain the decisive identifiers.

Do not treat the metro as one water system. Communities within the same labor market can use Lake Michigan water, groundwater, river water, reservoirs or purchased supply from different wholesalers.
