Thursday, April 22, 2010  Wild Card: Milwaukee County Objects To
Waukesha Diversion  Another problem crops up for Waukesha's
diversion application - - and, remember: as I disclosed earlier
on this blog, the application hasn't been sent to the DNR yet
for the beginning of a long series of reviews.  Waukesha will
have jurisdictional issues with Wauwatosa, where Waukesha wants
to release its wastewater. Problems with municipalities when it
comes to easements for both the intake and wastewater flow
pipes.  And certainly problems with one or more of the other
Great Lakes states, all of which must approve the application.
And then you have a water sale contract to negotiate - - should
all eight Great Lakes states approve the diversion, leaving
Waukesha to find a willing seller.  Maybe some of those non-
diversion options look a little better?   Michael J. Cheaney

"PROBLEM"  We all know that Milwaukee WILL NOT UNDER any
CIRCUMSTANCES sell water to Wauk
