Water / Utility Billing
Establishing Service/Cancelling ServiceMoving in or out? Contact the Village Hall at 847-546-5400 to provide your information.
Landlords, please come into the Village Hall when setting up a new service and provide your mailing address, phone number and your tenant's information.
The Utility Bill is a combined bill including water, sewer, garbage and recycling. The Village contracts with Waste Management for the garbage and recycling services. Since the Utility Bill is a combined billing, ordering new or replacement garbage or recycling containers must be done through the Village.
Residents only need to contact Waste Management directly in order to set up yard waste pick-up, the pick-up of large items, or to complain about the driver or service. For more information please see the "Garbage Pickup/Other Waste" section.

Water rates paid by the Village are in response to fees the Village pays to purchase water from the Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency (CLCJAWA). The water rates we pay help to ensure that we continue to maintain the existing water infrastructure so as to provide excellent water and sewer services to our residents. If you have any questions regarding the Village's water rate, please contact the Round Lake Village Hall.
CLCJAWA was formed to centralize the providing of water for area communities. A copy of their meeting schedule can be downloaded here. Please contact the Village with any questions regarding the Agency.
