We are excited to say that you will see new art in the 6-16 Kinnickinnic River project area! WaterMarks: An Atlas of Water for the City of Milwaukee is an initiative to develop a city-wide network of participatory engagement, to help us all to better understand the significance of water in our everyday lives.

The speed of the water flowing in this part of Lyons Creek has caused significant stream channel and bluff erosion in multiple areas. This project will stabilize the erosion, reducing risks to surrounding property and negative water quality impacts.

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) recognized the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District’s Freshwater Monitoring program with the Operations & Environmental Performance award in 2023.

Please be safe around our concrete lined rivers. The concrete-lined streams can be dangerous. Stay out of the concrete-lined channel since the water can be fast-moving and the concrete slippery.
