Frequently asked questions
The river is inside its banks and the west-side cellar is wet. What else is there?
A second table. Wolf Lake sets its own level under those blocks, so a cellar can wet from the lake side with the river doing nothing at all. Two water bodies decide this ground.
Gary is next. Why isn't this the same lakefront mill job?
Gary faces Lake Michigan and the dunes at the Works. Hammond faces the Grand Calumet and Wolf Lake at the state line, with Michigan only as a distant northern edge. June totals can match. The water that wets the cellar is a working river and a small lake, not the big one. Leave the dunes story next door.
Wolf Lake is on the west side. Is the Calumet still involved there?
As the other table. West-side blocks can wet from Wolf Lake on a fair day, from the Calumet on a high stage, or from both. A sump that runs when the small lake is up is Wolf. One that runs with the river gauges is the Calumet. Mixing them is how the wrong outfall gets blamed.
