Negotiation Team To Be Discussed at Water Utility Meeting

Waukesha Common Council will be asked to make final decision on team members.

The Waukesha Water Commission will be asked to discuss and make a recommendation on who will be on the water negotiation team as the city pursues a potential supplier of Lake Michigan water.

Waukesha is looking to purchase from Milwaukee, Oak Creek or Racine as it applies to divert and return Great Lakes water, which needs the approval of all Great Lakes states.

The recommendation will be discussed at the commission’s meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday. The recommendation will then be forwarded to the Common Council for ultimate approval.
