IDOT announced 86 more communities receive Lake Michigan water, total 198, serving over six million people rising to 6.7 million by 2000. Allocations extend 40 years to 2020, with many South and Southwest suburbs listed, and trace a history from the 1885 storm to the diversion changes culminating in 40-year rights and regional supply planning.
