Statement from MMSD Commission Chair Corey Zetts

“I want to thank the Milwaukee County Supervisors who called for an audit of Veolia and MMSD by the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau. In the meantime, I’ve directed MMSD staff to bring a resolution to the Commission in June to initiate an independent, third-party performance audit of Veolia Water Milwaukee to investigate allegations that Veolia is not properly maintaining MMSD infrastructure and, by doing so, created unsafe working conditions.  This performance audit will be overseen by the MMSD Commission.

MMSD is in the second year of a procurement process to select one of two companies to operate and maintain the District’s infrastructure for 10 years. Both companies are qualified. The winner has not been predetermined. MMSD’s Commission will be making the final decision.”
