Recitals
Waukesha intends to install Water Supply and Return Flow Pipelines. The Return Flow Pipeline will be
installed between the City of Waukesha Clean Water Plant and a parcel located at S. 60th Street and W.
Oakwood Road in the City of Franklin. The Return Flow will be a 30-inch nominal diameter.
A portion of the Return Flow Pipeline (shown in Exhibit 1) will be installed within the rights-of-way of
Moorland Road, Durham Drive, N. Cape Road, and Ryan Road, which lie within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the City of Muskego.
Muskego is willing to allow Waukesha to install the Return Flow Pipeline within Muskego’s rights-of-
way.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises of the Parties stated herein and pursuant to
the authority granted by Wis. Stats. §66.0301, the Parties agree and contract as follows:
1. Permission for Installation, Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement of Return Flow Pipeline.
Muskego grants permission, pursuant to Wis. Stats. §60.52, for Waukesha to install, maintain,
and to repair and replace as needed, the Return Flow Pipeline within Muskego’s boundaries as
shown in Figure 1, at Waukesha’s sole expense. Waukesha and its contractors may occupy the
rights-of-way and place traffic-control equipment to divert traffic while such work is being done,
according to accepted practices and any applicable regulations per Muskego’s review and
acceptance.
2. Waukesha’s responsibilities. Waukesha will be responsible at Waukesha’s sole expense for all
damage caused to private or public property due to the construction, maintenance, repair, or
replacement of the return flow pipeline. All restoration work will be at Waukesha’s sole
expense, will follow the latest City of Muskego standards and will be completed to the
satisfaction of Muskego before being accepted. Waukesha or Great Water Alliance (GWA) shall
be responsible for notifying public entities such as: Muskego Police, Fire, garbage collection,
Muskego Norway School District and bus company, about the construction schedule and
construction location in accordance with the approved Specification 01 31 00 and 32 95 00.
3. Muskego Responsibilities. Muskego shall have no responsibility for the work or the expense of
Waukesha’s installation, restoration, maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Return Flow
Pipeline, but shall take all reasonable steps to avoid interfering with or damaging the Return
Flow Pipeline. Muskego shall not excavate within the rights-of-way in which the Return Flow
Pipeline are located, or allow any third-party to excavate within the rights-of-way in which the
Return Flow Pipeline are located, without prior notification to Waukesha.
4. Ownership of Return Flow Pipeline. The Return Flow Pipeline shall at all times remain
Waukesha’s property.
5. Use of Return Flow Water. The treated effluent in the return flow pipeline cannot be used for
any potable water use by Muskego residents. Should Muskego wish to use some of the return
flow water for non-potable uses, it can at its expense undertake an engineering analysis of the
pipeline’s capacity and any modifications that would need to be performed to accommodate
such use. Muskego would need to obtain all necessary federal, state and local permits for such
use. Muskego would also need to enter into a written agreement with Waukesha specifying the
terms and conditions of such use and to ensure Waukesha would be able to continue to meet its
obligations under existing permits and approvals.
6. Restoration of Streets. Waukesha shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for the restoration
of the rights-of-way of the streets under which the Return Flow Pipeline are installed to the
condition they were in prior to any installation, maintenance, repair, or replacement work; but
not to an improved condition. All restoration work will follow the latest City of Muskego
standards and will be completed to the satisfaction of Muskego before being acceptable.
7. Restoration of Trails. Waukesha shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for the restoration of
the trails to Muskego standards that have been damaged as part of the installation of this return
flow pipeline.
8. Inspection of Street Restoration. Inspectors hired by Waukesha at Waukesha’s sole expense will
be responsible for the inspection of street restoration in accordance with Muskego
specifications provided by Muskego Mayor or designee. Written reports of the inspections shall
be provided to Muskego, in the format Muskego customarily uses for its inspection reports.
9. City of Muskego expenses. Waukesha will be responsible for the cost of City of Muskego staff
and consultants time to review construction plan adjustments.
10. Warranty. Waukesha shall ensure that Contractors hired by Waukesha to restore the rights-of-
way after any installation, maintenance, repair, or replacement work shall warrant the
workmanship of the street restoration for a period of one (1) year following acceptance of the
work by both Parties.
11. As-Constructed Drawings. Waukesha will provide an electronic copy and pdf of the as-
constructed drawings of the Return Flow Pipeline.
12. Relocation/adjustment. If a future City of Muskego requires for the GWA return flow pipeline
to be adjusted or relocated, it will be at Waukesha’s cost, provided that Waukesha reserves the
right to perform an alternatives analysis for the proposed adjustment or relocation of the GWA
pipeline to determine a cost effective and mutually beneficial solution for both Muskego and
Waukesha. If the alternatives analysis reveals that the adjustment or relocation of the Muskego
project is more cost effective, Waukesha’s cost will be limited to the more cost effective
alternative.
