Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago on Tunnel and Reservoir Plan - @infraday

The History, Challenges, and Future of TARP

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago adopted the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) in 1972 as the Chicago area’s plan to cost-effectively comply with Federal and State water quality standards in the 375 square miles combined sewer area consisting of Chicago and 51 suburbs. TARP’s main goals are to protect Lake Michigan—the region’s drinking water supply—from raw sewage pollution; improve water quality of area rivers and streams; and provide an outlet for floodwaters to reduce street and basement sewage backup flooding. This presentation will provide insight on the history and challenges of implementing TARP, along with discussion of the role of green infrastructure in the future.
