Water Supply Service Area Plan
The South Milwaukee Water Utility has drafted the Utility's Water Supply Service Area Plan. This is a planning document required by Wis. Stat. §281.348 for communities to document that a public water supply system (which serves a population of 10,000 or more) can supply an adequate and sustainable amount of water. As a general planning document, the goal is to provide basic information about the Utility's future plans to the public or oversight boards.
