The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requires that all water systems in the State of Illinois have an effective Cross Connection Control Program. A vital step in this program is a survey of the water system to determine where cross connections exist.
Cross connections (i.e. lawn irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, boilers, etc.) within the public water supply can potentially allow contaminants or pollutants to enter the public water system through what is called “backflow”. Backflow occurs when a drop in water pressure causes your water to flow in the opposite direction. This can allow contaminated or polluted water to flow back into your drinking water.
Please complete the survey at: https://backflow.com/lakevilla. This survey is for residents and businesses within the Village of Lake Villa.
If you have any questions, or prefer a paper copy of the survey, please contact the Village Hall at (847)356-6100. Printable surveys are also available for download at https://backflow.com/lakevilla
