Sanitary District Awards Ottawa Firm $1.07 Million Channel Contract
The Green Engineering Co of Ottawa won the Calumet Sag channel contract for 1,065,038.35 amid heated drainage board debate. Opponents cited government limits on water diversion from Lake Michigan and warned the Sag sewer would turn the canal into a cesspool spreading disease from Chicago to St Louis. The Democratic majority pushed the award 6 to 2 despite Republican objections and calls to delay for expert review. President Smythe’s annual message attacked bond-financing cuts, the Lockport power section, and plans to redirect the canal into a deep waterway. He bemoaned sewage disposal neglect and warned that reducing flow to 4176 cfs would let the canal become a disease-spreading cesspool.
