Mayor says village is designing transmission main to bring Lake Michigan water to Montgomery
Summary
The mayor said Montgomery has spent years studying depleting aquifers and is in early design stages of a transmission main to bring Lake Michigan drinking water via the DuPage Water Commission to Montgomery and partner communities Oswego and Yorkville.
The mayor said the village has spent roughly the last decade studying its water supply and concluded that the long-term option is a Lake Michigan drinking-water connection. "Right now we are knee deep in the, early stages of design for extension of a transmission main that will run water from the DuPage Water Commission into the village of Montgomery and our partners in Oswego and Yorkville," the mayor said.
The mayor framed the project as a multi-community, multi-year infrastructure effort intended to replace or supplement declining local aquifers. The transcript does not specify cost, timeline or funding sources; those details remain to be provided by staff as the design advances.
