But those airports don't sit in the water supply for 7 million people.

Chicago used to pull its water from the river and dump its sewage in the
lake.
This has changed?

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong
to
your slightly older self.

Chicago gets its water from cribs a couple of miles out in the lake. During
heavy rain they dump raw sewage into the river and open the locks to let it
run into the lake.

The last opening occured 3 years ago. The deep tunnel and reservoir
system was
built to halt this.

Many beaches are closed for extensive periods in the
summer due to you know what. They call it some fancy name but the truth is
it is crap in the water.

No solids visible, just storm sewer discharge.
