	anybody heard anything, done any exploring, or made any plans about this? sounds like it could make great fun for draining. Make no small plans.

He is referring to Chicagoland's Deep Tunnel, "109 miles of huge underground tunnels...burrowed under the city to intercept combined sewer overflow and convey it to large storage reservoirs":

As far as exploring the tunnels goes: good fucking luck with that.

	Ive looked down some of the drops when they were building the one in south holland a few years back. You can see the diameter at the water reclamation dist. site off i-55. as for exploring, its a pretty high security thing. Ive worked in the sewer and water field for a while and everyone Ive talked to who knows anything about it says you pretty much always need SCBA to enter it. Its pretty deep too. Ive heard several people say that they do, or did, offer tours of parts of the system. Anyone that has worked with underground systems knows that something like the deep tunnel isnt the type of thing you just want to go secretly exploring. Its just not safe. better lives have been lived in the margins and locked in prisons and lost on the gallows than have ever been enshrined in palaces.

	Sounds like Milwaukee's but bigger. And yes with remote controled valves a 32 ft tunnel can fill up at Mach 7 with no chance of escape. Even the Beer Command doesn't go there.

	just storm water, not sewage... better lives have been lived in the margins and locked in prisons and lost on the gallows than have ever been enshrined in palaces.

	Sewage too, actually: "Chicago and 51 older municipalities in Cook County have combined sewer systems. This means when rain falls, storm runoff drains into a combined sewer where it mixes with the sewerage flow from homes and industry..."
