WAUKESHA - It’s pretty unusual to see a $1 line item in a capital
improvement budget, be it for a business or municipality.

"Those are simply place holders for our future water
supply," said Dan Duchniak, general manager of the utility.
"They could end up being big dollars."
The utility and the city have been searching for a new water
source to replace the radium-tainted deep wells, and how and when
that search ends has made planning particularly difficult and will
likely come with a big price tag.
