Recent conversations with two of the Democratic Party candidates for the MWRD have confirmed that they don't agree that the MWRD needs to institute treatment for bacteria at the three sewage treatment plants which currently don't do this.

Raw Sewage released into Lake Michigan -- Let Greens Redo Storm Water Management

Wed, 09/17/2008 - 04:14 — jjailey

Starting 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.
