Welcome to the Elgin Area, IL Branch of AAUW

 

THE FUTURE OF FOX RIVER DAMS
Saturday, February 10, 1:00 p.m.
Elgin Township Building
729 S. McLean Blvd., Elgin

In September of 2023, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recommended the removal of nine dams on the Fox River. Art Malm, a retired civil and environmental engineer, will detail the reasons Friends of the Fox applauded this. But because Elgin gets its drinking water from the
Fox, removal of its dam will present a major challenge to be overcome. This Elgin’s Mayor Dave Kaptain, retired Chief Chemist and Process Control Manager of the Fox River Reclamation District, will explain.    Note: As one who attended a public meeting in which these two men detailed the above, I can assure you this is a program you won’t want to miss. —B.
