Giant Calumet intercepting sewer project advances to 1917 completion
Sanitary Trustee Charles E. Reading led a party including T. Schmid and Carl P. Morgan to inspect the Calumet intercepting sewer from Stoney Island to Blue Island. The 1625 foot horseshoe concrete main will drain 8000 acres, divert sewage to the Calumet Sag Channel, with a $3.8 million total cost and an expected finish by December 31, 1917.
