MMSD Continues Green Innovation

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, already cleaning streams with riverbank purchases and reconstructed wetlands, moves another step towards burning methane captured and piped from a landfill to treatment facilities.


Cue the irrelevant, snarky comments at 3...2...1...

Is this in contrast to MMSD's periodic "brown innovation" when they dump sewage into the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan?

I'll be sure to post information about MMSD's success at controlling the weather.

It is well-documented that the Deep Tunnel has reduced annual overflows from about 60 annually to one or two, and sometimes none.

SEWRPC is also about to purchase landfill methane, so there's a greenhouse gas being utilized instead of flared off or escaping into the atmosphere.

So be grateful...
