Will County officials are taking action to relieve ice jams along Kankakee River.
The Will County Emergency Management Agency has coordinated with Constellation Energy to activate all three siphons of warm water from the Dresden Energy Center cooling lake to accelerate the melting of ice on the
Kankakee River.
Officials hope this will minimize the negative impacts of rapidly melting ice once the weather warms.
Flash Flooding has been taking place in unincorporated Will County along the river since Monday.
