Cribkeepers on Lake Michigan live a solitary urban job
In Chicago, three cribkeepers Peter Milke Ray Perkins and Joseph Rago maintain lakefront water intakes. They live on large cribs offshore connected by a bridge, surviving harsh winters with dynamite for ice clearing and weekly boat resupply. They endure isolation while ensuring smooth water flow to the Central Water Filtration Plant.
