Canal System Reshaped in Illinois Waterways Plan
The Illinois canal boards propose merging the Illinois River links with Lake Michigan into a single system. The sanitary canal would cut the state canal at Sag, with the upper basin powers shared from Joliet to Lockport. A bond issue of 8 million is planned to extend the sanitary canal to Joliet, while compensation for water power rights is debated.
