COMMON COUNCIL - CITY OF MUSKEGO
RESOLUTION #015-2022
APPROVAL OF PRIVATE PROPERTY INFILTRATION &
INFLOW REDUCTION AGREEMENT WITH
MILWAUKEE METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, Wisconsin law, through Section 66.0301 Stats., authorizes any municipality
to enter into an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with another municipality for
the furnishing of services; and
WHEREAS, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) is responsible for
collecting and treating wastewater from the Municipality’s locally owned collection
system; and
WHEREAS, during wet weather events stormwater enters lateral sewers through
defective pipes and leaky joints and connections (“infiltration) and stormwater also
enters lateral sewers from foundation drains, improper connections and other sources
(“inflow”); and
WHEREAS, infiltration and inflow increase the amount of wastewater that the MMSD
must collect and treat; and
WHEREAS, the MMSD has established the Private Property Infiltration and Inflow
Reduction Program (Program) to provide guidelines, requirements, and a funding
structure for municipalities to complete I/I reduction work on private property through the
District Private Property Infiltration and Inflow Policy (Policy); and
WHEREAS, the City of Muskego wishes to participate in the Program by entering into
an Agreement with MMSD; and
WHEREAS, the area that was chosen for this project is due to high groundwater and
proximity of the sewers to Little Muskego Lake as camera inspection showed clearwater
entering the mainline through laterals and data showed an increase in pump times
during wet weather events; and
WHEREAS, the work includes the replacement of the sanitary sewer from the mainline
to the house; that the method will be open cut allowing for full lateral replacement which
should result in low risk follow up maintenance activities in the future; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, MMSD will reimburse the City of Muskego for
the full cost of the project in an amount not to exceed $725,000.00; and
WHEREAS, The Finance Committee has reviewed the Agreement and has
recommended approval to the Common Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Common Council of the City of
Muskego, upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee, does hereby approve
the attached Private Property Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Agreement with MMSD
for the Little Muskego Lake area project.
Res. #015-2022
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer are authorized to
sign the Agreement and the City Attorney is authorized to make substantive changes as
may be necessary in order to preserve the general intent thereof.
