Having never visited … I’m still blown away by this being a lake (that is fresh water right?)
Yeah Lake Michigan is all fresh water, but still needs purification and filtration to drink it which takes significantly less energy than desalination if it was salt. And yes, it's as far as the eye can see, Chicago is never really at risk of running out of water geographically speaking, we haven't gotten anywhere near using enough water to be concerned.
