Council Urges Kerner Hold Action On Salt Creek Dredging
After a Tuesday night discussion the Joliet council asked City Manager Wayne Marsh to write Gov. Kerner requesting a representative meet with city leaders before any Salt Creek dredging moves. The measure would deepen and widen the creek to move water faster, possibly relieving Cook and DuPage counties but risking flood threats to Will County communities. Salt Creek feeds the Des Plaines River and officials warned increasing flow could endanger the entire valley.
