2050 Facilities Plan
2020 Water Quality Initiative
Good planning is the hallmark of good government! It helps ensure that continuous service is maintained, high environmental standards are met, and costs (and surprises) are minimized. In the 2050 Facilities Plan (FP), the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), assesses the condition of its systems, establishes needs for improvement, evaluates options to address the needs of its systems, and identifies the projects and other actions that are required to continue to meet existing and anticipated permit requirements and projected future conditions. This self-assessment has been guided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) requirements, MMSD's foundational goals, and by the MMSD Commission policy direction.
The MMSD 2050 Facilities Plan is complete.
Stakeholder and customer input was provided by regular input from MMSD’s Technical Advisory Team and the Southeast Wisconsin Watersheds Trust ‐ Policy and Science committees.
