$6.1M Water Tower Contract Approved
Construction on the new water tower is slated to start next spring.
GAGES LAKE, IL — A $6.1 million construction contract has been approved by the Lake County Board to allow for construction of a water tower at 18534 W. Old Gages Road, east of Route 45 near Grayslake.
The new 150-foot high tower will hold 1.25 million gallons of water, which is eight times the capacity of the "Wildwood" tower off John Mogg Road north of Route 120, according to the Daily Herald.
Brittany Albrecht Sloan, engineering supervisor with the Lake County public works department, said the project is one of the county's "larger and more critical projects" since the current tower has reached the end of its service life, according to the article. Construction on the new water tower is set to being this spring.
