Little Muskego Lake Access Number Nine
1. The Parties
This Agreement is between the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (District), 260 West
Seeboth Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204-1446, and the City of Muskego (Muskego), W182
S8200 Racine Avenue, Muskego, Wisconsin 53150.
2. Basis for this Agreement
A. Wisconsin law authorizes any municipality to establish an intergovernmental cooperation
agreement with another municipality for the furnishing of services (Wis. Stat. sec. 66.0301).
B. The District is responsible for collecting and treating wastewater from locally-owned
sewerage systems in the District’s service area.
C. During wet weather, stormwater enters the sewerage system, increasing the volume of
wastewater the District must collect and treat.
D. During wet weather, stormwater directly enters surface water, increasing pollution levels in
those waterways and increasing the risk of flooding.
E. Green infrastructure, such as constructed wetlands, rain gardens, green roofs, bioswales, and
permeable pavement, reduces the volume of stormwater in the sewerage system and the
amount of pollutants discharged to surface waters.
F. The District’s WPDES permit includes a goal of 50 million gallons of green infrastructure
detention capacity.
G. The District wants to expedite the amount of green infrastructure installed in its service area.
H. Muskego plans to install green infrastructure that supports the District’s green infrastructure
goals.

Project Description
Muskego maintains 16 public access points on Little Muskego Lake. These access points
drain stormwater runoff to Little Muskego Lake. Lake Access Number Nine is on the
southeastern side of the lake, at the northern terminus of Park Drive, north of Janesville Road
as shown in Figure 1. At Lake Access Number Nine, Muskego will remove an existing
asphalt walkway, fence, debris, dead trees, and invasive species. Muskego will install 400
square feet of porous pavers and 700 square feet natural landscaping. This green
infrastructure will have a design detention capacity of 1,680 gallons. Figure 2 shows a
conceptual drawing of the reconstructed Lake Access Number Nine.
Schedule
Muskego will complete construction no later than December 31, 2021.
Budget
The estimated total project cost is $57,000. The estimated construction cost is $52,000 and the
estimated project management cost is $5,000.
Outreach and Education

newsletter or web page.
Educational materials will acknowledge District funding for the project.
Signage will:
1. be either designed and provided by the District or provided by Muskego and approved by
