Oswego’s move to tap into Lake Michigan water with a connection through the DuPage Water Commission has cleared a key hurdle, village officials said.
The village announced in a news release that it has recently received its Lake Michigan water allocation permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources which allows the project to move on to the next steps.
Oswego, Yorkville and Montgomery decided in mid-December 2021 to change from relying on well water to Lake Michigan water. The Illinois State Water Survey has used projections showing the region could run out of ground water from the aquifer it uses in the next 20 to 40 years. Oswego trustees as a committee of the whole Tuesday will have a discussion about proposed water and sewer rates, which are part of the formula to cover the cost of the project.
