Summer Water Restrictions

Outside water usage is restricted in the Village between May 15th and September 15th.

If your address ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8), then you may use outside water on calendar days which are even. Similarly, if your address ends in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), you may use outside water on calendar days which are odd.

Despite the vast pool of water to our east known as Lake Michigan, there is not an unlimited supply of water in this area. Under an international treaty, communities bordering Lake Michigan are restricted in the amount of water that can be withdrawn from the lake. As a result, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Water Resources, requires communities to take measures to conserve water. Outside water use restrictions are implemented by communities as one such conservation. In Lincolnshire, residents may use potable water outside-of-buildings, including water used for sprinkling of lawns and gardens or washing cars, in accordance with this odd/even schedule
