MMSD proposes to update the Chapter 11 rules to promote the best results from construction, operation, and maintenance of the sewerage system, and promote pollution prevention and waste minimization for the region we serve. The public hearing will be held at MMSD headquarters (260 W Seeboth St, Milwaukee, WI 53204) on January 21, 2026, at 2 pm, and the comment period is open until January 21, 2026.
MMSD is offering partnership funding for green infrastructure projects that help businesses and organizations manage stormwater naturally. Capturing stormwater on your property helps protect local waters, reduce sewer overflows, and prevent basement backups—while making your organization greener and more resilient.
Join us on Tuesday, January 20th, from 4:00-7:00 PM at the Milwaukee Public Library, Tippecanoe Branch (3912 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53207) to meet the project team.
Since 1994, MMSD has captured and cleaned 98.4% of all water entering the regional sewer system, and the Deep Tunnels have prevented more than 167.3 billion gallons of pollution from entering Lake Michigan.
