Before Shoreline Sightseeing got involved, the union was using smaller boats. Shoreline Sightseeing replaced them with larger tour boats to make the process more efficient.

He came out to Chicago\u2019s St Patrick\u2019s Day for the first time. \u201cI guess the weather kind of tempered (the crowd) a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to COVID-19 restrictions, last year\u2019s river dyeing came as a surprise from the city of Chicago as officials tried not to draw a big crowd of people but maintain the tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers&#8217; Local Union 130 have managed the colorful river change for more than 60 years. For the last 10 years, the union has partnered with Shoreline Sightseeing, one of the most popular architectural boat tours in the city, to dye the river. The company provides large tug boats and renovates the back of the boats by installing rigs with fire hoses and extensions for dyeing.<\/p>\n<p>Stace Wiselogel, 52, who has worked for Shoreline Sightseeing for 33 years, serving as operations manager, revealed the procedure of turning the river green with orange leak-detection powder when sprinkled in the water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Dyeing of Chicago River by MedillReports\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1234850212&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=800\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Audio transcript:<\/p>\n<p>The plumbers union has been doing it for approximately 60 years, I believe, but we\u2019ve been working with them for about 10 years. Traditionally, they just used smaller boats, little recreational boats, and the guys would basically sprinkle the powder \u2013 which is a vegetable-based powder. So it\u2019s not toxic. It\u2019s environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99958\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-99958\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/A1Q4A6889.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four members of the plumbers union use the fire extensions installed on the back of the tug boat to sprinkle the orange powder into the river that make the water turn green. (Xiaotao Zhong\/Medill)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The product the plumbers used when they are trying to find a leak in the plumbing, so they put that fluorescent dye in there, and that shows you, wherever it comes out, that indicates where the leak is coming from. So they figured out that it works great for dyeing the river, and traditionally they would use the small boats. We started working with the plumbers union, or became involved with it. We have bigger boats that are tour boats, like tug boats, so there are really big props on them, and they are really able to churn the water. And they set up a rig on there with fire hoses and extensions to get more sprays, and it just looks better \u2013 a lot better \u2013 on the back of our two tugs.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting is the powder itself is orange. When it comes in contact with the water, it\u2019s green. But if you are looking at the plumbers, the guys who were doing it, they were all covered in orange powder, which is funny because those are the St Patrick\u2019s colors right? Orange and green.<\/p>\n<p>It is vegetable-based, so it\u2019s biodegradable, natural, not toxic. Everybody thinks they are putting something chemical in the water, but, no! It\u2019s safe, and the fish are fine.<\/p>\n<p>The boats were just full of various dignitaries and sponsors. Because the river is closed to general traffic, we couldn\u2019t do our normal tours during that period of the dyeing.<\/p>\n<p>It will just slowly flow down the river as the Chicago River locks, when they open up the mouth of the river, that releases lake water down the river, and that slowly dilutes and then starts to flushing down, and it will flow east to west towards the south branch, towards St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p><em>Xiaotao Zhong is a sports media graduate student at Medill.
