PWAM19880121• PUBLIC WATER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD JANUARY 21, 1988
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Hilt.
Also in attendance were Committee Members Sanders and Patterson,
Utility Superintendent Scott Kloskowski, Mr. Bob Klenz and a
representative from the Muskego Sun.
The Committee reviewed the status of water projects and directed
the Highway Supt. to follow up on items referred to in the
December 3, 1988 Public Water Committee minutes.
The City Engineer is working with a water contractor to
facilitate installation of the water connection for Muskego
Nursing Home.
The specifications for the Bay Lane to Woods Road water project
have been let for bids. Mr. Bob Klenz informed the Committee
that plans for Squire Glenn Subdivision on Bay Lane & Woods Road
have been submitted for preliminary plot approval. The
Subdivision will be done in phases and will consist of
approximately 87 lots.
• Correpondence dated January 21, 1988, from City Engineer Ken Ward
was reviewed in regard to the feasibility of extending the
watermain in Woods Road from Bay Lane to approximately 800 ft.
east of Bay Lane. The proposed watermain extension would involve
the construction of a 12" watermain and related facilities. It
is feasible to extend the main at this time, however, the City
Engineer is strongly recommending that no service connections be
allowed until the City takes over the Guernsey Meadows Water
Trust. The estimated cost of the watermain extension would be
$65,520. This project could be completed during the 1988
construction season. Ald. Patterson moved to deny the
extension. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed the status of the Guernsey Meadow Water
Trust. The City is awaiting PSC approval before executing the
agreement which will take over the Water Trust. The City
Attorney and City Engineer are working to secure all the
necessary information for Kristin Downs Water Trust.
The Committee reviewed the DNR report on the Sanitary Survey of
the City of Muskego Water Utility, dated 12/28/87, which asked
that prompt consideration be given the report. The report
indicated that the Utility appeared to be very good and the
operators should be commended for the cleanliness and excellent
upkeep of the facilities. The following conclusions and
• recommendations were addressed:

the system, the Utility will review well and storage capacity to
ensure that there is an adequate supply of water at all times.

from the Municipal System.

maintenance program will take place each time an inspection is
required to test water meters.

that a survey be sent to all users requesting their comments on
whether or not they would be in favor of fluoridation.
5. City Engineers should be requested to provide the DNR
with a current distribution map with a listing of all water main
types, lengths and diameters. Fire flow testing data should also
be sent with this submittal.
• 6. Plans and specifications for any improvements or
modifications are prepared by Ruekert & Mielke, which is a part
of the City's standard operating procedure.

contact Mr. John Ingersoll to determine status of development of
the Dandilion Park area and also to survey Park Drive residents
for cooperation in obtaining water.

Sewer Committee and Public Water Committee into one Utility
Committee. Ald. Sanders moved to recommend to Rules, Laws, &
Ordinance Committee the combining of the two committees into one
Utility Committee effective May 1, 1988. Seconded by Ald. Hilt,
motion carried with Ald. Patterson voting "no".
