Rend Lake water storage costs cut by Senate amendment
The Illinois Senate approved an amendment to an omnibus rivers and harbors bill that would let Illinois renegotiate its water storage contract with the Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake. Illinois pays about 350000 a year for unused storage, with only a third used, leaving the Rend Lake Conservancy District in debt to federal agencies and the state footing the bill. Critics call the move a precedent for renegotiation, though some lawmakers warned against it.
