Water cribs are offshore structures that collect water from close to the bottom of a lake to supply a pumping station onshore. The name crib is derived from the function of the structure—to surround and protect the intake shaft. Cities supplied with drinking water collected by water cribs include Chicago, Illinois;[1] Cleveland, Ohio;[2] Buffalo, New York;[3] Oregon, Ohio;[4] Toledo, Ohio;[5] and Monroe County, Michigan.[6]
