UW-M Water Expert Offers True Facts About Sewage Overflows - - To Cleveland Newspaper

There's good data cited by a local water scientist about the value of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's success in keeping overflows out of Lake Michigan, but you have to go to the Cleveland Plain Dealer to find them.

By the way, the UW-M WATER Institute scientist quoted, Dr. Sandra McLellan, is the same expert who found some years ago that the e. Coli contamination on Bradford Beach was coming from drain pies that Milwaukee County had placed right at the beach so to contaminated water flowed across the sand into the shallow water at the lake edge.

That led to a program paid for by private donors, the MMSD (which did not own or locate the pipes there) and the County to clean up the lakeshore and bring Bradford Beach back as a major recreational destination.

I wrote about Dr. McLellan's work, here - - so hats off to her, UW-M and the MMSD, again.
