The aquifer from which Joliet, Illinois, sources its drinking water is likely going to run too dry to support the city by 2030... Joliet eyed a huge water source 30 miles to the northeast: Lake Michigan.
Not just anyone can gain access to Lake Michigan's pristine, saltless water. That's rooted in the Great Lakes Compact, an agreement that governs how much water each state... can withdraw from the lakes each day.
Project construction will start in 2025 with the intent to have water flowing to residents by 2030... Joliet will foot the approximately $1 billion bill for the project, including the cost to build 65 miles of piping.
We are going above and beyond to demonstrate how much we respect and want to protect these water sources.
