Legislator eyes scrapping obsolete drainage districts
A Cook County proposal seeks to end the Lincoln Lansing Ditch and about 30 regional drainage districts. Legislation would shift storm water management to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, citing chronic underfunding and lack of staff. Residents report blocked water flow and debris from aging ditches. Local officials warn of erosion of local control and funding gaps. The plan faces opposition from current district attorneys and suburban leaders while MW RD officials express readiness to manage flood prevention regionally.
