Editing Lincolnshire, Illinois (section)

===Utilities===
The Village of Lincolnshire negotiated and signed an agreement with the City of [[Highland Park, Illinois|Highland Park]] in 1982 to create a more efficient means of obtaining water by purchasing filtered water from [[Lake Michigan]]. The Village of Lincolnshire also monitors the public pumps and [[Water metering|water meters]] of private residents. Lincolnshire is served by a [[sanitary sewer]] that connects to the Lake County Sewage Treatment Plant, which lies on the Des Plaines River outside the Village limits; the disposal of wastewater is left to the government of Lake County rather than the Village of Lincolnshire itself. Lincolnshire also runs a network of storm drains that run directly into the Des Plaines River; to protect the river's cleanliness, the village government has outlawed dumping of most chemicals into the network of [[storm drain]]s.<ref name=sewages>{{cite web| url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/water_sewer.php| title=Water and Sewer Division| access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Department of Public Works| publisher=Village of Lincolnshire| year=2008}}</ref> A plan to repair city streets was also implemented in 1982, and continues; the Village also offers public services to clear the streets during the fall and winter from fallen leaves and snow respectively, although on its arterial roads (Illinois Routes 22, 45, and Aptakisic Road) residents are provided with bags to clear their curbs during autumn months as it is not possible for the Village to safely clear these roads of leaf debris. The Village of Lincolnshire regularly sweeps other streets within its borders.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/streets_drainage.php |title=Streets and Drainage Division |access-date=September 13, 2008 |work=Department of Public Works |publisher=Village of Lincolnshire |year=2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110504143346/http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/pw/divisions/streets_drainage.php |archive-date=May 4, 2011 }}</ref>
