of the sewer assessment district if provisions are made
to treat the resulting wastes in off-peak hours so as not
to overextend the treatment facility's capacity.

ment of Hale Park Meadows, and

No extension of the existing sewer system for the purpose of
opening new lands for development would be permitted by the
city until metropolitan sewage treatment is available or a
satisfactory alternate method of treatment is found.
Each new development falling under the 65% limitation will
require the execution of an agreement acknowledging the same.
A periodic review of the effectiveness of each of the city's
two treatment facilities will be made by the Sewer Committee
to determine whether or not amendments to the 65% limitations
are warranted.
Prior commitments such as vacant lots, developments, existing
residences, etc. shall be given priority to use existing sewer
mains or interceptors.
& BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of Muskego does
ereby declare its intent to continue to monitor the growth of the community
as not to over burden the capacity of its sewage treatment facilities to
such a degree as to jeopardize the quality of water in the outlet streams.
