The Compact Implementation Coalition wants to mine groundwater and sent it to the Gulf of Mexico. The also want to treat with reverse osmosis, which wastes 10% to 20% of the water. Is that your idea of water conservation? Waukesha, on the other hand, wants to recycle water back to the source, Lake Michigan.
If Bill gets paid by the word to troll these blogs, he'd better increase the size of his paragraphs if he wants to earn. Oh yea, that's right. He gets paid a monthly retainer. By the residents of Waukesha. Can ANYTHING he says be trusted?
Where are you gonna buy your credible water conservation information from?
From Bill McClenahan, paid spokesmodel for the Waukesha Water Utility?
or non-profit organizations focused exclusively on conservation and environmental advocacy and representing tens of thousands of Wisconsinites?
Doesn't Waukesha "mine groundwater and send it to the Gulf of Mexico" now? So have you been saying they have been reckless with their water supply presently? Waukesha is actually in the Mississippi River Basin, and many other communities in Wisconsin and northern Illinois use this same deep aquifer for their water supply, and discharge to the Fox River, which does ultimately discharge to the Gulf via the Mississippi River. But isn't Waukesha intending to "mine water from the Great Lakes" and then to use it, pump it up and over the subcontinental divide, and discharge it to the Root River, Lake Michigan, and ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean? But this is better because it will be less energy intensive to construct 40 miles of pipeline than to install reverse osmosis?
