Utilities and Water

If there is damage to your home or you are instructed to turn off your utilities:

Locate the electric, gas and water shut-off valves.
Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves.
Teach family members how to turn off utilities.
If you turn the gas off, a professional must turn it back on. Do not attempt to do this yourself

Public Water Supply Health Notices

For those who receive drinking water from Lake County Public Works:

Lake County Public Works follows strict testing procedures to ensure that drinking water meets or exceeds all current health standards. Public notification will be initiated if certain contaminants are found to be higher than the set standards. Occurrences are rare, but might be caused by changes in local source water conditions, heavy rainstorms or a change in the condition of the distribution system. Depending on the severity of the issue, consumers may be notified via door-to-door advisory, direct mailing, radio/television broadcast, newspaper, community health organization notice and/or postings on the internet.

If you do not receive your water from Lake County Public Works, contact your local government for water supply health notice information.
