The Mainstream Pumping Station, located in
Hodgkins, Illinois, is one of three stations in the Tunnel and
Reservoir Project designed to capture combined sewer overflows from
an area of 375 square miles.
The Station serves as part of the Tunnel and
Reservoir System which is designed to prevent backflows into Lake
Michigan, eliminate waterway pollution caused by combined sewer
overflows and provide an outlet for flood waters.
The Mainstream Tunnel System consists of 31 miles
of tunnels, 13 to 33 feet in diameter and 240 to 300 feet below
ground. It extends from Wilmette, Illinois, in the north to McCook,
Illinois, at its southern end. Sewage and storm water entering the
tunnels through drop shafts are carried to the Mainstream Pumping
Station, where the flow is pumped to the District's Stickney Water
Reclamation Plant, Stickney, Illinois.
