.@JasonMichnick, PhD Candidate @ppma@UICCUPPA & RA @govfinanceUIC, recently presented on water supply chains @abfm_aspa. He is on the job market! So learn about his research at the intersection of budgeting, financial management & public service here: https://t.co/KtW908ZEEp
#LakeMichigan is the most widely used source of drinking water in the #GreaterChicagoArea. 12 municipalities directly extract its water
for 172 municipalities relying on it. Learn about this #DrinkingWaterNetwork in this @govfinanceUIC research brief: https://t.co/fC4bvxeNhk
@cbgoodman I wouldn’t be surprised if other suburbs look to become DWC members as a result of this, both existing Chicago customers and far western communities not on lake water. Improves the economics if membership grows, but hurts Chicago even more.
@Amanda_Kass @srboisvert I guess if we mean “Chicago” the region and not the city, than it’s true. There is 12 that pull from the lake, but only 7 and a JAWA that sell water.
I’ve been lucky to work with TDS since 2015 and see the meaningful impact that investing in girls’ education has on communities in Mara, Tanzania. Today’s a great opportunity for donations to TDS to receive a match and help buy books, computers, water for schools, etc. Link👇
Local governments have more than one option for regionalizing water systems and there are tradeoffs. Grateful for the opportunity to share our team’s findings during this awesome panel!
Today’s @UAAnews conference presentation from @govfinanceUIC is brought to you by @uicppma PhD student @JasonMichnick who delivered work on authority and accountability of different regional public service organization forms in the provision of IL drinking water. @Deb_A_Carroll
Really enjoyed presenting my research with @MPSAnet on the role of intergovernmental organizations as regional policy coordinators in the sustainability space. So much good feedback on where to go with this next.
@cbgoodman@SkuzinskiThomas@KANetworkGeek @Deb_A_Carroll Don’t think it’s because homerule. They would need an IDNR allocation, but I thought that was administrative approval. Maybe the bill is because the receiving station is on state property?
