Waukesha prepares reply to queries on Lake Michigan water plan

Waukesha - After nearly five months, environmental groups monitoring the Water Utility's bid for Lake Michigan water should get further details this week on the proposal to annually pipe billions of gallons to this city.

On Jan. 7, six environmental agencies submitted several dozen questions to the utility seeking details of how it plans to replace its well water with water from Lake Michigan.

 

The groups say the answers have been slow in coming, while city officials say it takes time to answer the detailed questions the groups have posed. Some environmentalists claim the utility has more interest in self-promotion than revealing details of its plans.
