Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance

The Village of Deerfield last adopted the Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance (WDO) in October 2008. The goal of this comprehensive storm water management plan is to ensure that new developments address existing storm water problems and avoid creating new problems. The WDO establishes county-wide standards for runoff, maintenance, detention sites, erosion control, water quality, wetlands and floodplains. You can view the Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance (WDO) by clicking here.
