A River Without Water—Temporarily Right in our own backyard—we can see a rare feat of engineering—man harnessing the power and flow of a river. Take a walk down the prairie path east of Batavia Rd. At the bridge you see when you cross the river on Butterfield Rd there are huge diesel engines sucking the river into a pipe. The water is moved downstream in the pipe below a temporary wall structure and again released into the river. A huge section of river is without water; trucks and men scurry about digging in the river bottom.

  • Bright Future for Cenacle Property Written by Jim Kleinwachter

    I have read the thoughts of some other readers on the appearance of the Cenacle property,  and I felt the need to add my views. The [DuPage County Forest Preserve District] is in the process of naturalizing the property. For hundreds of years the Cenacle property was an Oak Savannah. At some point [not too long ago], the landscape under the Oak trees became mowed grass.

Brummel, Mayor, 7/23/2010). I also read the article by Mayor Brummel regarding his former big red truck.

  • Fawell Dam Impedes Warrenville Drainage Written by Michael Hoffmann

    When I bought my property in 1985, it was not in a flood plain. It became flood plain in 2003. FEMA never notified me of this; I found out through a realtor. Having flood plain on my property has devastated its value.
