Some free advice for you this fine morning: stock up on bottled water, like, now:

Drought may cause Chicago River to reverse flow

If Lake Michigan’s water level drops by just 15 centimetres, it will be lower than the Chicago River.

That could reverse the water flow, sending untreated sewage into Lake Michigan.
…
“This is an open sewer. It depends upon gravity to go away from us. If that gravity does not work with [Lake Michigan water levels] going down, it goes the other way, and we have done nothing to deal with contaminants.”

Chicago gets its drinking water from Lake Michigan, and the Army Corps of Engineers is keeping an eye on the water levels.
