The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act ( 70 ILCS 2605/ ) renamed the "Sanitary District of Chicago" the "Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago." The district's territory includes nearly all of Cook County, Illinois ; and, unlike other sanitary districts, the district has the power to operate facilities outside its boundaries. The district operates the largest Wastewater Treatment plant in the world, the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant (Stickney WRP) in Stickney, Illinois . It is also responsible for the Chicago Sanitary And Ship Canal and one of the largest civil engineering projects ever undertaken--the Tunnel And Reservoir Plan , better known as the "Deep Tunnel Project."
