A Message from the Mayor Continued from page 1 processing. This chemical coats the water lines and prevents lead from leaching into the water. If you are concerned about your water and would like to have it tested you can pick up a test kit at the Lake County Central Permit Facility located at 500 W. Winchester Road in Libertyville. The charge for the kit and the test is $25.00. We believe that the home that tested with high lead levels was an isolated incident. However, in the event your water should test above the federally recommended limits our public works staff is able to assist in determining the cause and provide information on how to lower lead levels in your water. In addition, the Village Board is taking on several projects this summer that our residents might be interested in. Along with the ongoing road rehabilitation this summer, the Village will be constructing a second parking garage in the downtown behind the Libertyville Civic Center. The Board is also looking at architects to renovate the downtown train station. The station work will be paid for from the commuter parking fees. Neither of these projects will be paid for from property taxes assessed to all residents. Many residents have asked how the construction of the new parking garage will affect our summer events.
