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

Washington County is required to implement a stormwater quality program under the Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (WPDES), Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the Department of Natural Resources. As part of this program, the County has to commit to making water quality improvements in our stormwater runoff that will ensure compliance with the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Phosphorus (TP) limits defined in the Milwaukee River Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Current modeling suggests that Washington County is less than 2% from achieving full compliance with TSS and less than 20% away from full compliance with TP waste load allocations for the Milwaukee River TMDL. The project is included in the County 2026 - 2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of July 28,2026, further details have not yet 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. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
