The water agency, of which Gurnee is a member, provides a secure and cost effective source of Lake Michigan Water. Your understanding and patience during these construction projects are appreciated.

Type 1 and 2 plastics include most soft drink bottles, milk containers, and laundry detergent containers.
Plastics make up almost one tenth of garbage weight and nearly one fifth of volume.
The Village is hoping to add additional plastic types to the recycling program. Over 5,000 pounds of plastics are collected by the curbside recycling program each month. Your participation is crucial to the success of this program. The Village uses a form of budgeting and expenditures known as fund accounting. Used by municipalities, fund accounting restricts those revenues raised for a specific purpose so they can be spent only for the intended project or activities.
