Is the DNR suggesting along with its announced, arbitrary 30-day deadline that the Town of Waukesha must affirm its inclusion in the City of Waukesha's diversion application - - without a hearing?
Is this the way a Great Lakes diversion application gets produced: one city can add other smaller municipalities without their approval as the application is being written, and without demonstrating a need for diverted water according to the Compact's needs' standards - - but then have the smaller municipalities slide into the application?
There's no hearing or meeting on this important issue?
ReplyDeleteThey are making a huge mistake in doing so. Is it arrogance ,ignorance,misguidance or lack of leadership.
ReplyDeleteTo a larger point; When the regulations were written for a diversion exception, specifically with Waukesha, Wi. in mind.
ReplyDeleteAfter the rules and regulations were written and approved by 7 other states, Waukesha Water Utility asked SEWRPC to draw a new service area. One whose communities do not have a radium issue nor a court ordered mandate to comply with.
Somehow, I have to believe this was a bait and switch by the Waukesha Water Utility trying to pull one over on the stakeholders within the compact.
