News Room

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Tuesday laid out her plan to try to convince Joliet officials to let Chicago provide the city’s water. As Joliet looks to sign a contract to start getting its water from Lake Michigan, both Chicago and Hammond, Ind., want the potentially lucrative deal to deliver it. Lightfoot introduced a preliminary contract to the City Council on Tuesday, that would give the city Water Department the authority to do so.
