MMSD COMMISSION APPROVES OVERFLOW REDUCTION WORK IN 2019 FINAL BUDGETS

10/22/18 12:12:pm

Wastewater treatment infrastructure will receive the most attention in MMSD’s 2019 $202.4 million capital budget, helping reduce the risk of sewer overflows and basement backups.

The owner of a $200,000 home in 2019 will pay approximately $6.87 more than they did in 2018 for MMSD services for a total cost of $478.22 (Total cost varies slightly for each municipality in Milwaukee County). 

While MMSD’s 2019 Long-Range Financing Plan is $1.4 billion (including debt service), the great majority of capital expenditures over the next six years include rehabilitation, replacement or improvement of existing District facilities and infrastructure. 

SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

• Continued funding for $30 million Private Property Inflow and Infiltration Program to fix cracked pipes, install sump pumps, and reduce the amount of groundwater that enters sanitary sewer systems, significantly increasing the risk of basement backups and sewer overflows. READ MORE
