NIPC REGIONAL Tom Baggott of the Northeastern Illinois Plan Commission
WATER DISTRIBUTION submitted public hearing drafts of their Regional Water Supply
PLAN Plan. Buffalo Grove's request for a transmission line from
Highland Park instead of through north Cook County was rejected
by the NIPC Planning and Policy Committee because 1) no
communities in Lake County, other than those already receiving
Lake Michigan water, got an allocation; therefore, there is no
distribution system in Lake County other than the existing
ones, and 2) some people in Lake County have expressed a
lack of willingness to extend water beyond those communities
already receiving Lake Michigan water because of concern
about growth in Lake County. He encouraged the Board to
pursue their request at the public hearing level in April
by presenting testimony and resolutions. The offer was made
to host one of the public hearings at the Buffalo Grove Village
Hall . Mr. Baggott said he 'would advise the Commission of the
offer and let Mr. Balling know their response.
