TOWN OF MUKWONAGO - The equipment sits in the Country Bliss
subdivision waiting to be used as officials revisit a plan to pump
water into Jericho Creek in response to some objections.
On Wednesday, the Town of Mukwonago Board voted to spend up to
$125,000 to pump the water out of the subdivision, which continues to
be engulfed by water. Town Chairman Dave Dubey said the town’s
decision to pump water out of the subdivision was prompted by water
flooding roadways.
Neighbors contend the flooding has been an issue for some time now
and started long before last month’s intense rainfalls. One resident
has been actively using a water pump since 2006.
Plans were put on temporary hold a few days ago after the state
Department of Natural Resources was contacted about a drainage ditch
on Highway E that leads to Jericho Creek, but goes through private
property.
