The Village of Fox Lake retained Trotter and Associates to evaluate a long-term solution for operating their two water and wastewater systems. The firm recommended interconnecting the north and south zones, which are bisected by Nippersink and Pistakee Lakes. One of the most notable achievements was crossing these lakes. The project received recognition from the American Public Works Association, Chicago Metro Chapter for Project of the Year in Environment $5 to 25 Million. The success was attributed to the teams' focus on safety, communication, and efficient management while adapting to challenging conditions.
