Join us for a virtual tour
On Friday, February 19 at 10 a.m., travel back in time to early Chicago to witness how we accomplished this herculean task, go inside the Deep Tunnel and learn more about what happens after the flush.
In the late 1800s there was a sense of urgency creating a sanitary district due to a booming population, the fear of waterborne illness, the quality of the drinking water supply in Lake Michigan and a contaminated river. In 1889, the Sanitary District (now MWRD) was established and its first assignment was clear: reverse the flow of the Chicago River.
