Severe Weather Protocol - Gates Area
The Village and Crystal Lake have made infrastructure changes that have already shown improvements of water handling in the Gates area.
Crystal Lake's work on Crystal Creek capacity
Village of Lakewood:
- Increased Pump Impeller Sizes at Lift Stations.
- Cleared 75% of root blockage on drain line under Crystal Lake Country Club and will be working to clear further.
- Installation of lift station automatic pump and water capacity monitoring via an APP.
- On February 8, 2022 the Village Board approved Baxter & Woodman Engineers to begin the Turnberry Trunk Study to help alleviate flooding and sewer capacity issues in the Gates area. Once the study is complete then the board will review construction options.
