Site work for a water / sewer project in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) was retained by MMSD to study stormwater flooding in East Tosa. Final study has been completed. In August, 2022, the Common Council narrowed the list of options down to two. The next step will be hiring a consultant to further investigate the final two options and prepare detailed costs estimates. Costs below are placeholders as the final solution(s) have not been selected yet. Funding for solutions will likely entail many years of construction beyond this 5- year window. Since it will likely be many years before a pipe solution could bring relief to these homes, a small amount of funds may be spent to reduce stormwater flood damages in susceptible areas that could go a long way towards reducing risks and anxiety for these homeowners. Water and paving costs are not fully included below but will need to be budgeted as those details are developed. Costs below assume that Sanitary and Storm pay for the Martha Washington paving and water main costs since that project is part of the critical path. This project is in included in the City of Wauwatosa FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of February 23, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
