Public Works chief argues Chicago should export Lake Michigan water to 40 suburbs to ease shortages. Proposal envisions pumping 65 million gallons daily from the lake to towns including Wheeling Hinsdale Joliet and Aurora with new pumping stations and miles of pipe. Critics say suburbs would incur high costs and Chicago would charge rates below cost, while supporters claim a guaranteed, abundant supply and relief from dwindling wells.
