Conservation groups to file suit against Chicago water district

A coalition of conservation groups announced this week they intend to take the Chicago water reclamation district to court to force it to begin treating the Chicago River system more like a river and less like a sewer. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of federal lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that would force the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to speed up an ongoing study on how to re-engineer the Chicago River so it no longer provides an artificial connection between Lake Michigan and the Asian carp-infested Mississippi River basin.
