A flood relief project recently completed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District will hopefully drain the bowl, but it is not a total fix.

The young women met and learned from a diverse group of professionals during their tour of the facility.

The event featured a drug take-back, electronics recycling, and document shredding service, promoting environmental sustainability and public safety.

The project involved constructing a new culvert for North Creek to alleviate flooding and safeguard 56 residential structures in the vicinity of Flanagin Park.

The six new parking lots can capture up to 539,000 gallons of water at a time that could otherwise run into residents’ basements, village sewers or the Des Plaines River during heavy rain or snow events.
