Water Plant Will Get New Filters

LAKE FOREST, IL - The water plant in Lake Forest will get new filters for the next 20 years after the City Council approved a $10 million project this week.

The city will pay more than $3 million to General Electric Water and Process Technologies to supply the water filters and $563,000 to Strand Associates to design a plan to retrofit the plant to bring in the new filters, according to the Lake Forester.

The new filters will be eight inches shorter than the current ones.

The city’s Public Works Committee considered other options, including getting out of the water business entirely, buying water from somewhere else and hiring a private contractor.
