A Friend of McHenry County Blog prepared the following spread sheet showing what the two sanitary districts in McHenry County did with regard to real estate taxes.

Lake in the Hills is wholly in McHenry County, while Northern Moraine, based in Island Lake, has much territory in Lake County.

(When the now-called Northern Moraine sewage treatment plant was opened, the ceremony was called “The Royal Flush.” Unfortunately, no artifact seems to exist showing that delightful name.)

In any event, both sanitary districts cut their property tax bills substantially, Lake in the Hills almost 10%.
