Intercepting sewers row stalls Joliet plant plan
A public dispute between Joliet officials and United States Steel over funding an additional intercepting sewer delays plans for a $11 million sewage disposal project. Engineers note the east wall sewer carries large volumes from the steel works, while the city seeks a contribution or legal resolution to move forward. The waterway project funded by state and federal money already benefits Joliet without cost to the city.
