The Water Division is responsible for providing clean, safe, and reliable drinking water to all of our residents. The Village has 301.2 miles of water main serving more than 22,000 residential homes and businesses. The source of our water is from Lake Michigan by way of the Evanston Treatment Facility and the Northwest Water Commission. Team members maintain this system throughout the year by making sure all fire hydrants, valves, and pumps are in good working order and maintaining all pumping stations and well houses in case of an emergency.
