Lake Zurich Mayor Tom Poyton and Village Manager Ray Keller chatted with several residents at the mayor’s “Coffee with the Mayor” event March 20, 2024 at the Koffee Kup restaurant in Lake Zurich. Village Board meetings in Lake Zurich usually start and wrap quickly, without much public input, or other comments or discourse.
The approval at the March 18 board meeting set in motion a process first considered in 1981 and, while expensive and lengthy, the folks at the Koffee Kup agreed with the mayor and other village leaders that switching would be best. They said continuing to wait would only make the process more expensive.“It’s been a long time in the making,” Keller said. “It’s a time when the stars aligned, and it’s still going to be a long time coming and we’re going to keep folks in the loop.
He said the switch to Lake Michigan water allows for replacing a diminishing reservoir of water for a near endless supply of it at a cost of pennies more to village water customers — especially if voters support a measure to partly pay for the switch through a half-cent sales tax increase. “I like hearing the local gossip,” he said. “I like hearing from the mayor about what’s coming in real estate.”
