CITY OF MUSKEGO
Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss Moorland Road Construction Plans and Design Options
Date: January 14, 2016
The attached plans, cross sections, and handout are the materials that will be presented
at the Public Involvement Meeting (PIM) that is scheduled for Thursday, January 21st,
2016, from 5:00pm-7:00pm. These materials are also available on the City’s website at
www.cityofmuskego.org/moorland.
One item that has come up related to the design is related to the standard cross section.
The previously proposed cross section may not be a preferred option by the Department
of Transportation. We do have alternatives that would be very similar in cost but
would alter the feel of the roadway. The currently proposed cross section is two eleven
foot lanes with a four foot concrete curb pan (for on street biking), which totals 30 feet
from face of curb to face of curb. The DOT is saying that this may not be ideal because
the longitudinal joint will be close to the wheel path. The following options are
available, but offer different pros and cons:
Option #1- Stay with proposed, but risk failure at the pavement/curb flange joint.
Option #2- 14 foot asphalt lanes with a 1 foot curb pan. This would not allow a
dedicated shoulder area delineated for bikes. This would reduce the cost by about $12K.
Option #3- 15 foot asphalt lanes with one foot curb pan. This would allow for more
space for on street bikes. We could paint 11 of 12 foot driving lanes, which would give
the bicyclist a bit more feel for space , however this would still not be a delineated bike
lane. This option would add approximately $20K to the cost. This option would also
provide a bit more space for disabled vehicles.
The main discussion point is what level, if any, does the Committee want to provide for
on street bicyclists.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss options and make recommendation as to how to proceed.

I. Purpose of Meeting
The intent of this meeting is to inform the public of the purpose and need for this project.
This is the first of two scheduled involvement meetings. Personnel from the City of
Muskego and Kapur & Associates, the design consultant, are available to answer questions
about the project’s scope, schedule, design criteria, and known environmental factors.
This meeting also provides an opportunity for public input during the improvement process.
(Please see Public Comment Form attached to the back sheet.) The design team is listening
and looks forward to hearing from you.
A second public involvement meeting, anticipated to be held in summer 2016, will present
the final design and the proposed impacts. An updated construction schedule and project
cost will also be presented at this meeting.
II. Funding
The City of Muskego has received funding for this project from the Federal Highway
Administration, which will cover 80% of construction costs. The City will provide the
remainder of the 20% in a cost sharing agreement.
Right-of-way acquisition will be funded entirely by the City of Muskego. The preliminary
estimated cost for the project is $4 million.
III. Existing Roadway
The project begins at McShane Drive on the south end and extends north approximately 1.3
miles to the intersection with Janesville Road (CTH L). Please see attached project location
map.
The existing facility is a rural roadway consisting of two 12-foot wide driving lanes with 3-
foot wide gravel shoulders and ditches. The existing pavement surface is in poor condition
and provides a rough ride. Deficiencies include rutting and cracking.
The posted speed limit is 35 mph. The speed limit will not change after construction.

Public Involvement Meeting Handout S:\Wauk_Co\Muskego\Gov\150245_Moorland\Public Involvement\PIM #1\2723-00-01_Moorland PIM_1 Handout.doc
Traffic counts were conducted in September 2015. Forecasted traffic volumes were derived
from the historic trends of population, household, and employment growth rates in the City
of Muskego and the surrounding areas. Additional traffic generators created by the recent
and proposed development in the area were also factored into the traffic projections.
Existing and anticipated Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes on Moorland Road are
as follows:
Year AADT – South of Woods Road AADT – North of Woods Road
2015 6,300 8,200
2018 6,500 8,600
2038 8,000 11,100
IV. Proposed Action
The roadway can no longer be economically maintained and is in need of reconstruction.
The proposed improvement calls for reconstructing Moorland Road to improve the failing
pavement structure and improve intersections with side streets. In general, the new
roadway will be reconstructed as an urban section consisting of an 11-foot driving lane and
4-foot curb lane in each direction. Between McShane Drive and Woods Road, a no-build
alternative is under consideration.
Geometric improvements at all intersections are being analyzed. Turn lane improvements
are proposed at the intersections with Candlewood Lane/Durham Place, Sandalwood Lane,
and Princeton Drive as shown on the meeting exhibits. A raised median is proposed at the
Candlewood Lane/Durham Place intersection and south of Princeton Drive to improve
safety and provide refuge for turning vehicles and crossing pedestrians.
At the Moorland Road intersection with Woods Road, the improvements consist of
replacing the existing four-way stop-controlled intersection with a roundabout.
Roundabouts are circular intersections that provide safe and efficient traffic flow and
exhibit the following characteristics:
Safety: Roundabouts create slower speeds, fewer conflict points, and reduce
injury accidents compared to “STOP” controlled or traffic signal controlled
intersections. Greater safety is achieved primarily by slower speeds and the
elimination of left-turns.

Public Involvement Meeting Handout S:\Wauk_Co\Muskego\Gov\150245_Moorland\Public Involvement\PIM #1\2723-00-01_Moorland PIM_1 Handout.doc
Reduced Delay: Motorists do not always have to stop at a roundabout. Entering
a roundabout is controlled by a “YIELD” condition so delays and queues are
usually less.
Environmental Benefits: Roundabouts lessen noise, air pollution, and fuel
consumption due to reduced delay. Roundabouts also provide opportunities for
traffic calming and speed transition.
Aesthetics: Roundabouts offer opportunities for enhanced landscaping, less
pavement, and gateway treatments.
Moorland Road may be closed to through traffic during construction; however, access will
be maintained at all times for local traffic and emergency vehicles. East/West traffic may be
staged at the intersections with Wood Road and Princeton Drive. Detour routes will be
determined in conjunction with the City of Muskego.
V. Pedestrians and Bicycles
The 4-foot curb lane on both sides of the roadway provides extra width for on-street biking
through the entire project corridor. The existing multi-use path on the west side of
Moorland Road will continue to serve pedestrians and bicyclists traveling through the
corridor. The multi-use path will be replaced where necessary to accommodate the
reconstruction. Please see the attached typical finished sections.
VI. Right-of-Way
Fee right-of-way acquisition will be required at several locations near intersections.
Additional temporary grading easements may also be required within the project corridor
to blend slopes into adjacent properties.
No residential or business relocations are required for this project.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Review refuse cart color options
Date: January 14, 2016
As part of the roll out to full automated refuse collection we need to decide what
color refuse carts we would like to order for our residents. The carts are scheduled
to be delivered in March. The carts will say City of Muskego on the sides.
The attached color choices show the various color options available. A sample cart
will also be available at the meeting in the “dark grey” color. I feel that a grey or
burgundy color would complement our blue carts well.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Review color choices and select a color.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss Cross Connection Inspection Program Inspection Fees
Date: January 14, 2016
The City’s Water Utility was required to update our code section and begin
performing cross connection inspections of all properties connected to City water.
The attached manual was approved by the Public Works Committee in late 2014.
We are now required to move ahead with inspections of all commercial and
industrial properties on a two year rotating cycle.
The Committee has previously decided to consult the inspection of the properties
and bill back the inspection costs to the businesses. We have worked with our
inspection firm that does the City’s building inspections and they will be able to
complete the cross connection inspections as well. The fee charged to the City will
range from $65-$125 per meter based on meter size. When calculating the total fee
once all meters are inspected we would average $72 per meter. In this scenario we
will be completing all administration and mailings to the owners which will of
course have an expense. We feel that and administration fee set at 25% will be
enough to cover those expenses, which would leave the per meter inspection fee to be
$95.00/meter.
We will start the program with a small group to make sure that we are completing
the program as efficiently as possible.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Approve a fee of $95.00 per inspection per meter for the cross connection inspection
program.

Cross Connection Control Policy Manual
For the control of CROSS CONNECTIONS and BACKFLOW PREVENTION
1. General Policy
Purpose The purpose of this manual is:
To supplement Municipal Code 28.04(17), “PURITY OF SUPPLY NOT TO BE IMPAIRED BY CROSS
CONNECTIONS”. These regulations are in place to protect the health and welfare of users of the public potable water
supply of the City of Muskego.
To promote for the control and/or elimination of existing cross connections (actual or potential) between the
customer’s potable water system(s) and other environment(s) containing substance(s) which may contaminate or
pollute the water supply.
To provide for the maintenance of a continuing Comprehensive Program of Cross Connection Control which will
systematically and effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of all potable water system(s) under the direct
authority of the City Water Utility.
Definitions
a. Backflow; The undesirable flow of water or mixtures of water and other liquids, solids, gases or other
substances under positive or reduced pressure into the City of Muskego Water System potable supply of
water from any source.
b. Backflow Prevention; A means designed to prevent backflow caused by backpressure or backsiphonage;
most commonly categorized as air gap, reduced pressure principle backflow assembly, double check
valve assembly, pressure vacuum breaker assembly, backsiphonage backflow vacuum breaker (spill
resistant pressure vacuum breaker) assembly, pipe applied atmospheric vacuum breaker, flush tank
ballcock, laboratory faucet backflow preventer, backflow preventer for carbonated beverage machine,
vacuum breaker wall hydrants, (freeze resistant automatic draining type), chemical dispensing machine,
hose connection vacuum breaker, hose connection backflow preventer, backflow preventer with
intermediate atmospheric vent, barometric loop, or similar.
c. Backpressure; An elevation of pressure in the downstream piping system (i.e. Pump, elevation of piping,
or steam and/or air pressure) above the Utility supply pressure, which would cause or tend a reversal of
the normal direction of flow.
d. Backsiphonage; The flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the utility’s potable
water system from any source caused by the sudden reduction of pressure in the utility’s potable water
supply system.
e. Cross Connection; Any physical connection or arrangement between two otherwise separate systems,
one of which contains potable water from the utility, and the other containing water from a private
source, water of unknown or questionable safety, or steam, gases or chemicals, whereby there may be a
Page 2 of 4
flow from one system to the other, the direction of flow depending on the pressure differential between
the two systems.
f. Cross Connection Control Ordinance; An Ordinance written to give the Utility legal authority for
enforcement of state and local regulations related to water system protection for all water customers
g. Cross Connection Control Manual; Policies and procedures for cross connection control and backflow
prevention for the City of Muskego, Wisconsin. More specific measures and procedures, day-to-day
operations, cost, surveys, regulations, etc are included.
h. “Degree of Hazard” Determinations:
1) High Hazard: Health Hazard – May cause illness or death if ingested…toxic or contaminant
2) Low Hazard: Non-Health Hazard – May cause unpleasant appearance, taste, or odor of water…non-
toxic and considered as a pollutant
2. Cross Connection Prohibited: No person shall establish or permit to be established or maintain or permit to be
maintained any cross connection. No interconnection shall be established whereby potable water from a
private, auxiliary or emergency water supply, other than the public water supply of the utility, unless such
private, auxiliary or emergency water supply and the method of connection and use of such supply have
been approved by the Utility and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
3. City Responsibility: The City of Muskego Water Utility shall be responsible for the protection of the public potable
water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to backflow of contaminants or pollutants.
4. Owner Responsibility: The property owner shall be responsible for the protection of the customer’s potable water
system. The responsibilities include the elimination of or protection from all cross connections on their
premises. The owner shall, at their own expense, install, maintain, test, and submit proof of compliance for
any and all backflow preventers on their premises in compliance with the Department of Safety and
Professional Services (DSPS) Chapter SPS 382 requirements and the Utility’s Municipal Code and the Utility’s
“Cross Connection Control Policy Manual”. The property owner shall have corrected any malfunction
revealed by periodic testing of any backflow preventer on their premises. Annual test results shall be filed
with the DSPS for all testable assemblies other than Double Check Assemblies (DC) and Double Check
Detector Assemblies (DCDA) which test results shall remain on the assembly and copies shall be forwarded
to the Utility upon request. The property owner shall inform the Utility of any proposed or modified cross
connections and also any existing cross connections that are not protected by an approved backflow
prevention means.
The property owner shall not install a by-pass around any backflow preventer unless there is a backflow
preventer of the same type in the by-pass. Property owners who cannot shut down operation for testing of
the backflow prevention assembly must supply additional assemblies necessary to allow testing and
maintenance to take place. In the event the property owner installs potable water using fixtures, equipment
or appurtenances upstream of a backflow preventer, such must have its own approved backflow prevention
means.
The property owner is required to follow the protection practices described in (but not exclusive to) the
American Water Works Association publication AWWA M-14 titled “Recommended Backflow Prevention and
Cross Connection Control”, United States Environmental Protection Agency publication titled “Cross
Connection Control Policy Manual”, Wisconsin DSPS Plumbing Code, SPS 382-384, the Utility’s “Program for
protecting public water system”, and the Utility’s “Cross Connection Control Policy Manual” unless the Utility
Page 3 of 4
requires or authorizes other means of protecting the potable water supply system. These requirements or
authorizations will be at the discretion of the Utility.
5. Inspections: It shall be the duty of the Utility to cause surveys to be made of all properties serviced by the Utility
where cross connections with the public water system is deemed possible. An initial 2-year inspection phase
will determine high and low hazard sites. Residential and low hazard non-residential properties serviced by
the Utility shall be inspected during routine water meter change-outs, on average every 10-20 years. All high
hazard properties serviced by the utility shall be inspected on an interval not exceeding 2 years. The
frequency of required inspections and reinspections, based upon the potential health hazards, may be
shortened by the Utility. All sites will receive a copy of the inspection results after the inspection. Non-
compliant sites will receive a notification to comply and must do so within the time frame shown on the
notification. The Utility may, but is not required to, perform the cross connection inspection of the
customer’s property. Responsibility and cost for the inspection will fall upon the water customer. If, in the
opinion of the Utility, the Utility is not able to perform the inspection, the property owner must, at their
own expense, have the water system piping inspected for cross connections by a person who has been
properly trained in accordance with the American Society of Sanitary Engineers (ASSE) Standard number
5120, been educated by the University of Wisconsin School of Engineering, USC certified, University of
Florida TREEO certified, or similar, as a Cross Connection Control Surveyor or Inspector.
6. Right of Entry: Upon presentation of credentials, a representative of the water utility shall have the right to request
entry, at any reasonable time, to a property served by a connection to the public water system for the
purpose of inspecting the property for cross connections. Refusing entry to such utility representative shall
be sufficient cause for the water utility to discontinue water service to the property, as provided under
28.04(17)(f) of this ordinance. If entry is refused, a special inspection warrant under Section 66.0119 of the
Wisconsin Statutes, may be obtained.
7. Authority to Discontinue Service: The water utility may discontinue water service to any property wherein any
unprotected connection in violation of this ordinance exists, and take other precautionary measures
deemed necessary to eliminate any danger of contamination of the public water system. Water service may
be discontinued, however, only after reasonable notice and opportunity for hearing under Chapter 68,
Wisconsin Statutes, except as provided in 28.04(17)(g) of this ordinance. Water service to such property
shall not be restored until the unprotected cross connection has been eliminated.
8. Reconnection of Service: Water service to any property disconnected under provisions of this policy shall not be
restored until the cross connection(s) has been eliminated or a backflow prevention means approved by the
Utility has been installed in compliance with the provisions of this section. A re-connection fee per the
Utility’s rate schedule will be charged.
9. Emergency Discontinuance of Service: If it is determined by the water utility that an unprotected cross connection or
emergency endangers public health, safety, or welfare, and requires immediate action, and if a written
finding to that effect is filed with the City Clerk and delivered to the customer's premises, water service may
be immediately discontinued. The customer shall have an opportunity for hearing under Chapter 68,
Wisconsin Statutes, within 10 days of such emergency discontinuance. Water service to such property shall
not be restored until the unprotected cross connection has been eliminated.
Page 4 of 4
10. Additional Protection: In the case of premises having (a) cross connections that cannot be permanently corrected or
controlled, or (b) intricate plumbing and piping arrangements or where entry to all portions of the premises
is not readily accessible for surveying purposes, making it impractical or impossible to ascertain whether or
not dangerous cross connections exist, the public water supply system shall be protected in the service line.
In the case of any premises where there is any material dangerous to health that is handled in such a
manner that, in the opinion of the Utility, could create an actual or potential hazard to the public water
supply system, an approved air gap separation or an approved reduced pressure principle backflow
assembly shall protect the public water supply system. In the case of any presence of toxic substances, the
utility may require an approved air gap or reduced pressure principle backflow assembly at the service
connection to protect the public water supply system. This requirement will be at the discretion of the
Utility.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Approval of Electronics Collection Event Agreement with Waukesha
County
Date: January 14, 2016
In 2015 the City hosted two electronics recycling events in the City Hall parking lot
at no charge to the City. The success of those events led to Waukesha County
working to create a collaborative agreement that would have collection events
spread throughout the County to allow for more options for County residents
looking to dispose of electronics and white goods (dehumidifiers, refrigerators, etc.).
Seven communities, including Muskego, have discussed signing onto the group
which would then have an event every month of the year. Muskego would have an
event on May 14th and September 10th if we agree to join the group by executing the
attached agreement. There would be no cost to the City and we hope to divert some
of the electronics that make it to our recycling site that we do currently pay for.
Our attorney has reviewed the attached agreement and we still have one item of
contention between the City and the County. Our attorney is asking the County to
indemnify the City just like the County is asking us to do. The County is unwilling
to indemnify the City. We need to discuss the risks and decided if we want to enter
into an agreement that doesn’t have our attorney’s recommended language included
related to indemnification, which would be removal of section 3(ii).
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss risks and determine if we want to move ahead with a contract that does not
include the language shown under 3.(ii) regarding indemnification.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss design width options for the Woods Road Recreation Trail.
Date: January 14, 2016
City staff is progressing with the design of the Woods Road recreational trail from
Racine Avenue to Windover Drive. All survey work is complete and the general
alignment has been established. At this point we need direction from the Committee
regarding pathway width so we can move into more detailed design.
The existing pathway on Woods Road to the east of Racine Avenue is 8 feet wide
and on Racine Avenue to the north is also 8 feet wide. We could likely fit an 8 foot
wide pathway in the space we have to work with until the treed area near the old
farm on the south side of the roadway across from Plum Creek Boulevard. The
right-of-way becomes very confining in this area and we can only fit a 6 foot wide
path unless we buy right-of-way. The attached drawing shows the area that will not
support an 8 foot wide path.
I do feel that this stretch of pathway will be used quite a bit, but less that the larger
volume Racine Ave and Woods to the east. A six foot wide pathway would of course
be less expensive to build, but it is not a direct ratio. I would estimate a reduction in
cost of approximately 12-18% versus an 8 foot wide installation.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss width options and direct staff accordingly.

Subject: Approval of Electronics Collection Event Agreement with Waukesha
County
Date: January 14, 2016
I received a call and email from WE Energies indicating that an existing bridge
located along the WE Energies recreational trail is failing and they will need to
remove the bridge soon (see attached location map). I asked them if the bridge
removal could wait until 2017 and they said potentially yes if we commit to doing a
project in 2017. The following are the options directly from their email:
1. We would remove the bridge and abutments after permitting and we would like to
work on this the second half of 2016. That being said, there are several scenarios
including spawning fish, permitting requirements, our internal plans that we can only
give this estimate at this time. We would not replace the bridge. We can get around
this without having to have a driving bridge. And we’d be able to give you a 60day
lead time to reroute your trail.
2. Yes, there is a possibility that it could be postponed to 2017, this is where this might
be very helpful to you...You mentioned bidding process for the City to take the
lead...(realizing you would prefer not doing this, but...) the incentive of the City taking
the lead on this, is that you would be in control on how the removal/replacement is
done. If there are parts of the current bridge that could remain so it makes it easier
to work with the replacement bridge-there may be an option. Safety is #1 priority so
please note that we would take out the abutments. You could save on construction
costs. Permitting the removal and replacement bridge would be stream-lined and
simplified. Required coordination with We Energies would be reduced. It would be on
more of your terms. So to speak. The contact below is who we worked with on our
properties, if you decide to look into this route, you may want to consider this from a
cost and ease perspective.
The attached drawing shows the potential detour route around the trail closure. If
we want the bridge replaced it will be at the City’s expense because WE Energies
doesn’t need the bridge for their operations. If we did want to replace the bridge in
question we could consider a pedestrian bridge similar to the ones pictured on the
next page. From my experience these are the most cost effective solution for this
type of need. The total project cost would likely be between $60-75K if we utilize
City crews to complete some of the work and quote out the job. The bridge would
be weathered steel and have a concrete deck.
If a bridge is not placed back there will likely be some complaints from users and
likely area residents from users cutting onto private property as well as the
residents that will see more traffic on the paths in front of their homes.
Page 1 of 2
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Discuss the merits of a project to continue use of the trail versus a long term detour
and direct staff accordingly.
