What happened during the April storms, what we learned, and what we're doing

South Shore Pavilion (2900 S Shore Dr, Milwaukee )

Remarks at 6 p.m. from MMSD Executive Director Kevin Shafer.

Stop by anytime during the open house.

Following the April 2026 storms, MMSD investigated basement backups and debris found in an underground overflow pipe (CSO 195) serving part of Bay View. MMSD then used computer modeling to better understand what happened in the sewer system and what role the debris may have played.

Join us at the open house to:

Learn what happened during the April storms

Explore what the modeling shows and its limitations

Learn about CSO195 and how it works as part of the sewer system

Find out what MMSD is doing to inspect and manage CSO195 going forward
