SEWRPC STAFF MEMORANDUM
RESPONSE TO REQUEST BY THE CITY OF MUSKEGO TO
AMEND THE MUSKEGO SANITARY SEWER SERVICE AREA
INTRODUCTION
By letter dated November 1, 2007, the City of Muskego requested that the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional
Planning Commission amend the City of Muskego sanitary sewer service area tributary to the Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewerage District as that area is currently documented in SEWRPC Community Assistance
Planning Report No. 64 (3rd Edition), Sanitary Sewer Service Area for the City of Muskego, Waukesha County,
Wisconsin, dated December 1997, as amended. The basic purpose of the amendment would be to include within
the planned sewer service area certain lands located immediately adjacent to, but outside of, the currently adopted
sewer service area.
AREA DESCRIPTION
The area proposed to be added to the Muskego sewer service area encompasses 13.5 acres located southwest of
the intersection of CTH OO and Boxhorn Drive in U.S. Public Land Survey Section 24, Township 5 North, Range
20 East, in the City of Muskego, as shown on Map 1. The subject area contains about one-quarter acre of wetlands
located within a larger isolated natural resource area extending to the west. The remainder is currently in
residential and agricultural use and contains three existing housing units. Two of the existing housing units rely
upon onsite sewage disposal systems, with one using a holding tank. The housing unit in the far eastern portion of
the subject area is served by public sewer. The addition of the subject 13.5-acre area to the sewer service area
would enable the provision of sewer service to two existing housing units and would appropriately include an
already served housing unit within the sewer service area.
A more detailed delineation of the revised sewer service area and of the environmentally significant lands within
is shown on the aerial photograph reproduced as Map 2.
RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE TO
THE EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SERVICE AREA
The proposed addition of 13.5 acres to the Muskego sanitary sewer service area represents an increase in the
planned sewer service area of about one-tenth of one percent and would result in a negligible increase in the
population of the sewer service area. Thus, the areal extent and planned population of the Muskego-MMSD sewer
service area would remain essentially unchanged.
WATER QUALITY IMPACTS
Under the adopted regional water quality management plan and the sanitary sewer service area plan herein set
forth, it is envisioned that all urban lands within the planned urban service area would receive sanitary sewer
service. In addition, the provision of public sanitary sewer service to those lands within the planned sanitary sewer
service area which are currently developed and served by onsite sewage disposal systems may be expected to
reduce the pollutant loadings from the existing onsite sewage disposal systems to both surface and ground waters.
Assuming that all applicable Federal, State, and local permits are obtained and that proper site development and
construction practices are employed, there should be no significant adverse water quality impacts attributable to
the development of the planned sanitary sewer service area.

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT CAPACITY IMPACT ANALYSIS
The size and capacity of the MMSD sewage conveyance and treatment facilities are set forth in the District’s
facility plan completed in 2007.1 That facility plan is based upon a planned Muskego-MMSD sewer service area
resident population level of 34,100 persons. In addition to the estimated per capita contribution allowance for
residential development, a separate allocation was developed for sewage loadings from commercial and industrial
lands. The current population of the Muskego-MMSD sanitary sewer service area is about 20,000 persons. The
proposed addition to the sewer service area would add negligible population and sewage flow. Thus, there is
planned capacity available for the area proposed to be added to the sewer service area.
PUBLIC REACTION TO THE PLAN AMENDMENT
A public hearing was held on November 27, 2007, at the Muskego City Hall to receive public comment on, and
reaction to, the proposed plan amendment. The hearing was sponsored by the City of Muskego and the Regional
Planning Commission. A summary of the plan amendment was presented prior to receiving public comment,
including a description of the lands proposed to be added to the sewer service area and any environmentally
significant land located within.
No comments or objections were expressed at the hearing. Accordingly, no changes were made to the proposed
plan amendment as presented at the public hearing.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT
The Common Council of the City of Muskego adopted the plan amendment on November 27, 2007.
CONCLUDING RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
formally amend the sanitary sewer service area for the City of Muskego as documented in SEWRPC Community
Assistance Planning Report No. 64 (3rd Edition), as amended.
