Wisconsin seeks Supreme Court action over Lake Michigan flow
Wisconsin has been granted permission by the Supreme Court to file an original bill against Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District to challenge water diversions from Lake Michigan and connecting waters. The complaint claims lake levels are lowered by the drainage canal and seeks an injunction to limit diversions to 4 167 cubic feet per second if Illinois lacks adequate authority. Chicago trustees cite a 1920 injunction by Judge Landis limiting diversions and note ongoing wastewater treatment plans funded by state and federal efforts, with Congress considering compensating works on the St Clair and Niagara rivers.
