Lake 4 Discharge (Outflow) Condition

Here's a photo taken at 2:25pm today. The Superintendent of Sewers for the city emailed me and stated that the "outfall" is flowing "at design capacity" and that, I presume, means it is normal. Here is how the outfall looked from within the storm sewer concrete container after the city had inspected it:

Seem to be about the same; my viewing angle was different. You should try taking these photos. Some floating debris was cleared this afternoon. However, it was floating above the entry point and could not have interfered with the "outfall." It would seem the flow was at maximum yesterday. 

It would also seem that conditions (rainfall, ground moisture content, etc.) were about all that the lake system can currently handle. I include College of DuPage's ponds on their southwest boundary and Wheaton's Lakes A, 1, 2, 3 and 4. 

Here's the debris, with my shoe to provide some perspective:
