Port Washington proposes water main extension

The City of Port Washington has proposed extending a water main, according to Greater Milwaukee Today. The action places a proposed water-system project before the city for consideration.

The proposal

The city’s proposal is to extend a water main. A water main is a large pipe used to carry drinking water through a community. An extension generally adds pipe to connect service to an area not currently reached by the existing main.

What is established

The development is a city proposal, not a completed construction project. The proposal’s location, length, cost, funding plan and construction schedule are not established here.

Next steps

The City of Port Washington will need to consider the proposal through its local process before any extension moves forward. That process may include review of the project’s design, cost and effect on nearby properties, as well as a formal city decision.

What residents can watch

Residents can watch for a city agenda item, meeting discussion or formal action tied to the extension. Future city records would be expected to identify the project’s scope, financing and timing.
