REQUEST FOR PICTURES OF

HILLSIDE BRIDGE

In June of 2000 the Village experienced heavy rains that lead to major flooding throughout the Village.  Specifically the bridge on Hillside was impacted and completely flooded over.  As a result of the flooding the bridge sustained damage, which may be covered by a State Grant.  In order to apply for the grant, the Village needs to provide pictures of the bridge flooded by the water in Sequoit Creek.  If you took pictures of the bridge or know anyone that did, please contact Director of Emergency Management Lee Shannon at (847) 395-9462.

 

WATER AND SEWER BILLING

With last year’s change in water and sewer rates and all of the new residents moving into the Village, the Water Department wanted to provide an overview on water and sewer rates and billing frequency. 

Water and Sewer Rate:  The water rate for all residents is $1.25 per 1,000 gallons with a minimum flat rate of $10.00.  The sewer rate for residents on the West side of Deep Lake Road is a minimum flat rate of $22.00 charged for up to 4,000 gallons and $2.50 for every 1,000 gallons thereafter.  The sewer rate for residents on the East side of Deep Lake Road is a minimum flat rate of $12.00 and $3.10 per 1,000 gallons thereafter.  This rate is different than other residents in Antioch, because the sewage goes to the Lake County Treatment plant.
