Jardine Water Purification Plant
Jardine Water Purification Plant, Water purification facility in Chicago, United States
The Jardine Water Purification Plant processes over one billion gallons of water daily from Lake Michigan through two offshore water intake cribs.
Opening in 1964, the facility received its name in honor of James W. Jardine, who served as Chicago water commissioner from 1953 to 1973.
The plant entrance features the Hymn to Water statue by Milton Horn, while Dan Kiley designed the surrounding landscape and Milton Olive Park.
The facility supplies drinking water to northern, downtown, and western Chicago areas, serving approximately five million residents and 118 suburban communities.
The plant underwent a major renovation that required specialized stainless-steel expansion joints and cellular glass roof insulation imported from Belgium.
