Lake Michigan Water Safe After Flood: Officials

Nearly 100 billion gallons of flood water was set free into Lake Michigan during the weekend's historic rainfall.

"We have stepped up our monitoring," noted Chicago Department of Water Management spokesman Tom LaPorte. "But we have no reason to change our purification process."
