Dresden Heights dam washout ends Des Plaines obstruction
The Des Plaines river obstruction near Dresden Heights dam is gone after flooding aided by the sanitary district of Chicago. The state, under Governor Deneen and Attorney General Stead, filed suit to force removal of the dam, while Economy Light and Power claims the river is not navigable. The ongoing flood moved quickly, washing away the cofferdam and opening a passage toward the Illinois and Michigan canal properties as legal actions proceed.
