Calumet Sanitation Project Nears Completion in Chicago District
President William J. Healy announced the Calumet sewer system final link will open under electrical operation at 95th street and Baltimore Avenue. The $20 million program includes a new pumping station, a 42 square mile catchment, and the Calumet Intercepting Sewer twelve miles long. The plant at 125th street and Cottage Grove Ave covers 100 acres and serves 150 000 people with growth plans to 500 000. Sludge is treated for fertilizer value with Imhoff and activated sludge units, and the project aims to divert sewage from Lake Michigan to the Calumet Sag Channel. A separate dredging effort seeks a War Department permit to widen the Calumet River to prevent lake contamination during floods, tied to Lake Level legislation.
