From dream to reality: Lake Michigan water for four Chicago suburbs
The Northwest Water Commission was organized to supply water to four cooperating suburban Chicago communities. With supplies from wells that served individual communities shrinking, it became apparent in the late 1950s that water would have to be obtained from an alternative source. Securing the legal right to use water from Lake Michigan took 25 years and involved a US Supreme Court ruling. The system is now under construction and will be in operation by 1984.
