MINOOKA AT A GLANCE
Replacing a water heater in Minooka.
Minooka doesn't post a water heater rule or fee, so check with the village before you start. ComEd provides electricity and Nicor Gas provides gas. Water comes from deep wells treated for radium, and the village plans to switch to Lake Michigan water through the Grand Prairie Water Commission in 2030. Permits and contractor registration go through OpenGov, every trade must register before a permit is issued, and plumbing inspections happen only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
