Wastewater treatment
Treats wastewater across Cook County.
Wastewater treatment and stormwater management are the core services of this special purpose government agency. Its Tunnel and Reservoir Plan uses tunnels and reservoirs to reduce flooding, improve water quality in area waterways, and protect Lake Michigan from pollution caused by sewer overflows. The agency also offers stormwater project funding to local governments and public agencies, and sells rain barrels for capturing roof runoff. Its work serves Cook County, Illinois, including Chicago. Residents can find guidance on flooding and basement backups, water conservation during storms, native landscaping, and proper medication disposal. The district was established in 1889.
