Raw Sewage released into Lake Michigan -- Let Greens Redo Storm Water Management
Wed, 09/17/2008 - 04:14 — jjaileyStarting early Saturday morning, Sept. 14 and continuing through Monday, the MWRD has been forced to open its locks and let storm water mixed with raw sewage flow into Lake Michigan. The extreme rainfall of Friday, Saturday and Sunday forced them to do this. The Deep Tunnel and the partially built reservoirs are not adequate. This action poses a danger to human health and introduces pollutants into Lake Michigan.
