WAUKESHA
- Environmental groups are saying they are pleased with Waukesha’s
plans in its application for a diversion of drinking water from Lake
Michigan, but they’ll want to see more details of the plan before
giving it any blessings.
Dan Duchniak, general manager of the Waukesha Water Utility, and
Mayor Larry Nelson met with representatives of various environmental
groups last week to share with them how they plan to return the
water to the lake, a requirement of the Great Lakes Compact for any
water diversion.
Duchniak said a study has shown two possible alternatives to send
water from the city’s wastewater treatment plant as a return flow
to the lake via either Underwood Creek in Wauwatosa or the Root
River.
