Biggest OH paper clobbers the Waukesha water diversion plan
I'd noted recent negative editorials in Akron and Toledo, OH newspapers about the persistently-controversial Waukesha proposal to divert Lake Michigan water out of the Great Lakes basin - - with some water to be further exported from Waukesha to neighboring towns which had not sought or demonstrated a need for it --
- - but now the Cleveland Plain Dealer has fired a torpedo at the plan which needs the unanimous, not-one-veto approval of all eight US Great Lakes states' governors for implementation:

Waukesha's Great Lakes water grab should sink without a ripple: editorial

Thanks for the link to this editorial. Please continue to share these remarks and print. I noticed that Bill McClenahan boosted a coment and I could not let it go without a response. So here is what I posted on the Plain Dealer. Since Bill is paid by the water utility to monitor blogs and other outlets on be-half of the Waukeshas Water Utility, I am sure he is following you too. Is he robot?
"Hey Bill McClenahan, you forgot to mention that You are the highly compensated public relations consultant hired by the Waukesha Water Utility to get the Great Lakes Diversion Application for a Great Lakes Water Supply approved. Will you get a financial bonus similar to that the Waukesha Water Utility Manager gets, if this Diversion Application is approved??
Waukesha has reasonable and affordable 21st Century solutions and alternatives for their water supply. But, the Waukesha Water Utility stuck to their decade old plan with pumps and pipes to siphon Great Lakes water. A pipe dream.
Thank you Editorial Board for your thoughtful opinion on this Irresponsible and reckless application."

From the September 4th Waukesha Freeman:
"Waukesha Water Utility stands behind science in application
Manager confident plan upholds compact standards"
“We believe a careful review of the law and the science will show that the Great Lakes is our only reasonable water supply alternative — and it will be based off of science, not off of politics.”
Law??? - The Utility is under a court order to be 100% radium compliant by June 2018. With this plan they cannot not obey the law and court order they agreed to with the Wisconsin Department of Justice. Have you noticed the words "radium" and "carcinogen" are never mentioned by, or questioned of, the utility in the media. May 11th was the last I've heard on the radium issue:

Science??? - The science in the application only proves what would have happened if the deep aquifer kept declining. It does not prove Waukesha is without a sufficient supply of water. The deep aquifer, 80% of Waukesha’s current supply, is drawing up, not down.
Only reasonable water supply alternative??? - What is the need for a water supply alternative? (See "Science" above)
When the water utility goes for another next rate increase with the Public Service Commission they had better be prepared to face some angry rate payers. Waukesha is not paying for water service, it’s paying welfare to public relations firms and D.C. lobbyists.
