The
Chicago Medical Recorder
took up the question of water and disease in Chicago in their December 1893 issue. Included were maps showing the opening of the four-mile water intake tunnel between 1892 and 1893, which brought in drinking water from far further out in the lake than before. This was linked to a drop in the number of typhoid cases reported in Chicago in comparison to other large cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
