3. A body of water

Using resources from the City of Chicago, we figured out a lot!
Of course we were concerned that when the TARP/Deep Tunnel gets too full during heavy rains and/or heavy usage of water, that our local waterway (the Chicago River) would end up with sewage in it. Of course this is a reality, so we began brainstorming ways we could help solve some problems associated with our sewer system.
