1952 to 2002 – Celebrating 50 Years
Following are service people called in to the Village Hall in response to our
request in the last newsletter. All of the residents of Lakemoor can let
these people know how much we appreciate them by sending a card or note of
thanks and to let them know we haven’t forgotten about them as the War on
Terrorism continues. Kids, a homemade card or drawing might be just the
thing to lift their spirits.

Yardwaste Collection Available to
Lakemoor Residents
Jensen Disposal has two yardwaste collection
options available. All yardwaste must be in approved yardwaste bags (no
plastic bags will be accepted) or a 30 gallon container. The cans or bags
shall be clearly marked “yardwaste/grass” or they will not be picked up by the
garbage company. Bundles of brush can be no larger than 2’ X 4’ in size
and bundled with twine. No yardwaste can exceed 50 pounds.
A resident
may purchase a subscription for yardwaste pickup for a charge of $45 billed
directly to the resident. The subscription period is April 1st until
November 30th. They will pick up a maximum of four items per week.
Call Jensen Disposal at 847-566-5159.
The Village Hall sells yardwaste
stickers for $1.00 each (sold in sheets of 5), and the stickers can be affixed
to each bag, can or bundle for collection of yardwaste.
Burning of yardwaste
is allowed in the Village BUT no materials other than leaves, tree trimmings,
paper and cardboard may be burned. The burn must be responsibly
attended at all times and must not create toxic fumes or noxious odors.
Fires must be 20 feet from any building unless in a secure enclosure. The
burning ordinance will be strictly enforced and fines range up to $500 per
offense. Burning is not allowed in the roadway.
As in past years, the lake will again be treated to control unwanted weeds
and algae. This treatment poses no threat to humans and animals. The
health department also tests water quality on a scheduled basis. If a
concern arises regarding water quality and safety the lake will be posted
accordingly. What can you do? Do not handle lake vegetation.
Any fragments of Eurasian Watermilfoil can float to other parts of the lake,
root and spread rapidly. Boats should be cleaned before and after lake use
to deter the transfer or reintroduction of contaminants.
BOAT STICKERS
Residents -
Free
Nonresidents - $30
For enforcement purposes, all boats
using the Route 120 boat ramp must have a sticker. Nonresident fees help
defray the cost of ramp maintenance.
