Remember last summer's rains around here?
I do, and took this picture of the Milwaukee River rushing past Estabrook Park after heavy August rains:
The New York Times also remembers, noting that precipitation in Milwaukee last year was up more than ten inches.
The MMSD remembers, too.

(Milwaukee, WI) – Aging and failing equipment for the Deep Tunnel is slated for replacement in early 2019 after a unanimous vote today by Commissioners of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD).
“We have to be rain ready all year long with the crazy, unpredictable weather patterns we’re seeing,” said MMSD Commission Chair Kris Martinsek. “Asset management is crucial when it comes to optimizing reliability and performance when it counts. It’s a $1.4 billion investment (including financing) we’re making over the next six years.”
Regional treatment plants and sewers will see the bulk of MMSD’s $92.9 million capital project/program spending in 2019.
