Fox Lake Hills System
Construction is starting for the fourth phase of the Lake Michigan Water Project.  Information about the construction schedule and map is available on the CLCJAWA website in the section titled “Watermain Installation Project (NGBP#4) – (N. Cedar Lake Rd, Monaville Rd, Avon Dr, W. Lincoln Dr.)”.
