Plumbing Built to Serve a Federal Base
Chanute Field operated from 1917 to 1993, and the water and sewer infrastructure built to serve a working Air Force technical-training base for 76 years wasn't designed around ordinary residential growth. Civilian redevelopment since the base's closure has connected new uses to some of that older infrastructure.
