[edit] Questions on naming?

From what I've been able to ascertain this special purpose district was originally called the "Chicago Sanitary District" before being renamed to the "Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago" and finally the "Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago." But I'm unable to find sources for this beyond this CPL page[1]. Perhaps the main article can be updated to reflect this info? Mistergoodbar (talk) 21:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Growing Importance, Influence?

Would it be appropriate to include a section on the growing public and political interest in the MWRDGC?

In 2006 there was a hard fought insurgent campaign by Debra Shore which has generated a lot of interest in the District.

Here is a recent write up in The Reader about the growing interest.] Mistergoodbar (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
