Mayor Jeff Scrima, the lone voice publicly opposing requesting water from Lake Michigan, caused the Department of Natural Resources to stop working on the City’s application, after he wrote a letter opposing the application.

This week, the Waukesha Common Council voted 13-1, to approve writing to DNR, asking state environment officials to resume the review process for the city’s application for water.

The Common Council told DNR Lake Michigan water is the old reasonable alternative for the city.

JSOnline reports that more than 50 residents attended Tuesday’s meeting, with 16 speaking, six for the application, two against and eight recommending the application proceed, without stating a position.
