It's true, Mundelein water is piped in from Lake Michigan, but don't expect to see it any time soon. A public fountain will not be built outside of Mundelein Village Hall. Mundelein Trustees deep-sixed the idea:
Plans for a public gathering space in the now-vacant oval outside Mundelein's village hall will progress without a water feature - to the apparent frustration of Mayor Steve Lentz.

All of this, even though the Mayor of Mundelein wanted a fountain:
Lentz talked glowingly about the public fountains in Kansas City, Missouri, and in Rome and the prospect of such a feature at Plaza Circle. "Fountains are a thing," Lentz said.

Going as far as securing a proposal and cost estimate from a contractor:
"The village hired Deerfield engineering and design firm Kimley-Horn to develop plans for the oval." Lentz said.

Note to Ops: Make sure to count your votes ahead of time. You never know which of your Trustees are wet blankets.
