The Chicago District has developed five final alternatives for regional wastewater management in the Chicago-South End Lake Michigan area. This report presents an evaluation and analysis of the institutional (including financial) impacts that would result from the implementation of any of these alternatives (or parts thereof). The intent is not only to provide an understanding of the institutional impacts of the final alternatives, but also to highlight the implications that these impacts would have on present institutional arrangements for wastewater management.
