Waukesha - Acting under provisions of the Great Lakes Water Compact, Waukesha officials revealed details Thursday of plans to seek Lake Michigan water and return treated wastewater to the lake, likely via Underwood Creek in Wauwatosa.
City officials briefed environmental leaders Thursday and said water leaving its wastewater treatment plant passes state muster to be deposited into Underwood Creek, which flows into the Menomonee River and then into Lake Michigan.
"The city's very high quality of wastewater treatment meets all state water quality standards and is superior to that of lakeside communities," Waukesha Water Utility manager Dan Duchniak said. (More)
