Fightin' the man!

Wargaski plans to open a pig farm on his 5 acres in unincorporated Wauconda Township, a move that could block construction of a sky-high water tower the Village of Island Lake wants to erect across the street. State law prohibits operation of water-tower wells within 400 feet of a pig farm like the one Wargaski has proposed, for fear of water contamination.

A developer paid Island Lake $55,000 to put the tower anywhere but near their development. The mayor is excited because a new water tower would mean that tower that’s been muddying his view would be torn down. Bob Wargaski fights “the man” with a pig farm! This guy is awesome. He’s an inspiration for anyone that feels like they have exhausted their resources for fighting a cumbersome government.
