Riverside Pass Aims To Improve Des Plaines River
The opening of a pass around Hoff man dam in Riverside is expected to greatly aid water purification of the Des Plaines river. Stagnation from the dam previously hindered cleanliness even with minor sewage input. The next step should be to keep all sewage out, with the Salt Creek intercepting sewer as a move in that direction. No effort should be spared to preserve the river's health.
