Municipal League presents figures on water system
Chris Lange, member of Forest Park Municipal League investigative committee, reports it is cheaper to connect with Chicago water than sink a village well. He cites a 16 inch main cost of 859 per foot, adds labor, and notes a 24 inch main would supply far more water. The council’s well estimate totals 108,032.82, yet land and reservoir costs must be added, with city water showing a $14,001.82 saving. Chicago offers water mains at several routes. Forest Park has yet to acknowledge, raising questions about village water independence.
