Premiere - Great Lakes Now Full Episode - 1001

In its debut episode, Great Lakes Now travels across the region to learn what life is like on a Lake Erie island – especially without tourists — and how a Chicago port helps get one of your favorite candies made. With help from reporting partner MLive Media Group, we look at how Ann Arbor, Michigan is dealing with industrial chemicals in the city water supply, and we answer viewer questions about drinking water safety.
