April 27, 2020
The precautionary boil order issued on April 26, 2020 for the Forest Lake and Hawthorn Woods water systems has been lifted. Customers in this area may return to normal use of their water service.
The precautionary boil order was issued after the water distributor's alarm and control system for this area (Aqua Illinois) went down for a short time at its water station, causing water pressure to fall below 20 psi.
As a precaution, a boil order was issued, and bacteriological samples were collected to verify the quality of the drinking water supply. Water samples tested by a certified laboratory have confirmed that the water is free of coliform bacteria.
The Lake County Public Works Department thanks everyone for their patience as the laboratory conducted testing. Those with any questions or concerns may call Lake County Public Works at 847-377-7500 or send an email to publicworks@lakecountyil.gov.
