Early settlers first drew water from the Chicago River, but as it became polluted, they turned to the lake shore or shallow wells. The settlers either carried water home in buckets or bought it from peddlers who sold the water from horse-drawn wagons. This water system soon became inadequate for the fast growing city so a new water works, municipally owned, was built and placed into operation in 1854.The old Water Tower that stands at Michigan and Chicago Avenue was erected in 1869 and withstood the Chicago Fire of 1871.Today, Chicago's water system supplies an average of more than one billion gallons of water a day to over 5,050,000 people. This system supplies filtered water to an area of 836 square miles for domestic, commercial and industrial use and fire protection.

The Chicago metropolitan area is fortunate in being located on one of the world's finest sources of fresh water, Lake Michigan. The water's journey from Lake Michigan begins either at the intake cribs or the shore intakes of the water purification plants. The water flows by gravity through these tunnels to large pumps at the purification plants. It flows first through the chemical application channels, then through the coagulation and settling basins and finally through into the reservoirs. It takes the water eight hours to pass through the purification plant. In the treatment process, the chemicals applied to the water are: chlorine for sterilization, aluminum sulfate or alum and polymer for coagulation to settle out impurities, lime and caustic soda to prevent corrosion of the distribution mains, activated carbon to remove taste and odors, and fluoride to prevent dental cavities in children's teeth. 

Thus we have seen the water moved from Lake Michigan, through the intake cribs by tunnels to the purification plants, through the purification plants, then by tunnels to the pumping stations, and from the pumping stations into the underground network of water mains comprising the distribution system, finally reaching the point of usage by individual consumers, industry, firefighters and suburbia.

WARNING: When it comes to water treatment equipment you should NEVER do business with ANY company who does not have the same certifications as we do. It is just plain crazy.
