Water
Water for the Village of Bannockburn is purchased from Highland Park with a connection to Lake Forest, as a back up. The source of the water is treated water from Lake Michigan.
It is the Water Commissioner’s responsibility to ensure that all residents have safe water, and to create a rate structure that will provide adequate funding for maintaining and/or replacing the infrastructure. Inspections and repairs of water mains and fire hydrants are performed on a regular schedule by outside contractors.
In 2007, the Village of Bannockburn built an 800,000 gallon reservoir and pumping station. Its primary purpose is to provide back-up availability for water in case of a drought, a loss of pressure, or when excess water flow is needed, such as for fire protection.
The Village installed a 30-inch water main from Highland Park through Bannockburn to Lincolnshire, which provides more reliable water service and help to equalize water pressure. New water mains along Aitken Drive, Meadow Lane, Robin Road, Stirling Road, Valley Road, and some portions of Telegraph Road have been installed over the last five years, with additional water mains to be replaced over the next five years.
