Anti flood measure eyed near Wolf Lake
Two drainage districts joined in a meeting to push a flood relief project along Illinois 3. They still need about 100000 dollars and seek help from state federal officials and residents. The plan adds an 8 inch pipe under Illinois 3 to double levee flow capacity and drain water faster, though not preventing all flooding. The project had a 496900 dollar Chicago grant in 2009 and Corps requirements raised costs.
