NSWRD Arranged Meeting For Lake County Board

A special meeting was held by the North Shore Water Reclamation District (NSWRD) for members of the Lake County Board. The agenda included a presentation outlining the work of District followed by a tour of the Gurnee Water Reclamation Facility. It was agreed by the District members and County Board officials that it was beneficial for all units of government to build relationships and share information that could be helpful to the community at large.

The North Shore Water Reclamation District is a municipal body dedicated to the beneficial reuse of our water resources while protecting Lake Michigan, local waterways, and the environment through sustainable and fiscally responsible wastewater reclamation practices at our facilities. The NSWRD owns and operates 3 major Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF) located in Gurnee, Waukegan, and Highland Park, Illinois, and more than 100 miles of intercepting sewer lines and 10 pumping stations which collect and convey wastewater from local sewer systems to the WRFs. Additional NSWRD facilities include the Biosolids Recycling Facility in Zion, the Administration Building and Laboratory in Gurnee, and the Maintenance Building in Waukegan. The NSWRD is governed by an elected Board of Trustees vested with full powers to tax and enact all necessary rules within District boundaries that are the Wisconsin border on the north, Lake-Cook Road on the south, Lake Michigan on the east, and the I-94 toll road on the west.
