But the author starts out painting a picture that because Waukesha draws water with radium from the deep aquifer, it has no other options except a Lake Michigan Diversion Exception.<br /><br />Nothing could be further from the truth.<br /><br />Waukesha is already filtering radium from some of the deep aquifer wells. If the application fails, they will need to install filters on the remaining wells to satisfy the June 2018 court ordered agreement and stipulation. <br /><br />Considering that the deep aquifer has risen 100 feet in the last 15 years, the application is baseless. <br /><br />The cost of a wait-and-see approach is pocket change to the utility customers. There is no shortage of water unless developers and local officials create it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-70549210321127567172015-07-03T20:38:34.726-05:002015-07-03T20:38:34.726-05:00Walker admin. would also like to have a factory ho...Walker admin. would also like to have a factory hog farm in the Lake Superior basin.
