Clean up in the great lakes expected to take weeks
The city of Chicago plans to begin the cleanup of polluted water by pumping the contaminated water into Lake Michigan on Monday. The city says it hopes to fill most of the lake by late Wednesday, the Detroit Free Press reported, adding that it could take several weeks.
The city has ordered the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to shut down Lake Michigan in the area where the leak is located. According to the Chicago Tribune, as many as 11,000 homes may be affected by the leak, and the city will release "water as it becomes available."
City officials warn the damage would be extensive and long-lasting. Chicago Public Schools, which serves 564,000 students and has about 70 schools near the site of the spill, said they're doing extensive repairs on its campuses to fix pipes and other infrastructure and that the area is safe to enter and exit.
The city is not planning to remove most of the contaminated water from the lake, however, and officials have not yet decided how to deal with the remaining waste that remains. Officials are concerned that untreated sewage could leach into nearby drinking water, potentially poisoning people living nearby, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Meanwhile, the United Steelworkers Local 798 in Lansing said it has received reports that the city has installed a pipe line, potentially causing a major disaster in a city and country whose population of roughly 27 million could support several billion people. The local union has said that if the pipeline break were to happen during an inspection, more than 40,000 Michigan steelworkers could be affected, The Detroit Free Press reported.
"This is a massive emergency that will impact thousands of Michigan workers and hundreds of thousands of American residents," U.S. Steel Secretary Michael McKernan told the Chicago Tribune. "The damage would be significant."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WNCN) -
Detectives are searching for three suspects after a tarcoola tavern burglary Monday morning.
Police say the suspect, an 18-year-old boy, robbed the Tavern in the 200 block of Waleck Lane just before 3 a.m. The suspect, an 18-year-old white male, had glasses, jeans and an umbrella pulled over his head. Police say he ran off with two bottles and a $50 bill.
The victim told detectives the thieves stole jewelry from the bar before leaving his pocket. They also grabbed an iPad, a laptop and cash.
Detectives believe a gun and a large knife were stolen, and the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
The suspect is described as a white male, between 15-20 years old with short black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a light brown jacket, tan shorts and a hooded sweatshirt. The suspect was last seen on foot running north in the 1700 block of North East Main Street.
