BEACH PARK AT A GLANCE
Replacing a water heater in Beach Park.
Beach Park doesn't post a water heater rule, so call the village before a replacement. Permits are filed online through BS&A, and each review can take 5–10 business days. Power is from ComEd, and gas is from North Shore Gas rather than Nicor. Village water is Lake Michigan water bought from Waukegan, but some homes still have private wells.
- Permit to replace with the same type
- Check with the city · Village of Beach Park Building Department (Community Development)
- Who gets the permit
- Homeowners can apply and write 'self' as the contractor. If the job needs a licensed contractor, the permit won't be issued until one is named.
