JOLIET, IL
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot attended a Joliet City Council meeting Thursday night in hopes of hammering out an agreement to supply Joliet with its drinking water for several decades into the future.
During the special meeting, the Joliet City Council heard from Lightfoot as well as the mayor of Hammond, Indiana, in separate presentations. Hammond and Chicago are in competition with one another to become Joliet s future drinking water supplier.
