Topics getting the most attention in Pewaukee public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Lake Pewaukee Sanitary Sewer 2027 Budget Request
The Lake Pewaukee Sanitary Sewer district's 2027 budget request was up for council review. Sewer district budgets affect utility costs for residents in the district.
Trinity Academy Facility Assistance Request
The school's parking lot needs about $425,000 in work, and the old building is years overdue for a mandatory sewer connection (~$160,000). The council declined to fund it now and wants a bigger conversation about the city's future as the building's landlord.
Kopmeier Bay Sanitary Sewer Replacement
The failing sewer line running under the bay of Pewaukee Lake will be replaced rather than lined, requiring new easements from two cooperative property owners.
Lindsay Road driveway variance and culvert flooding
A buried, non-functioning culvert on Lindsay Road is backing water into a historic barn and a mulch business, and semis can't safely turn out of the narrow permitted driveway. The city says the whole corridor floods and is slated for reconstruction with curb, gutter and storm sewer in its five-year plan, which may solve the drainage problem without a variance.
Lindsay Road Balmer Park Utility Extension Litigation
The council went into closed session with its attorneys to discuss litigation strategy on the Lindsay Road Balmer Park utility extension project. Details stay private under state open meetings law.
Fox River pollution credit transfer agreement
An intergovernmental agreement would allow transfer of phosphorus and total suspended solids credits from the Fox River Water Pollution Control Center, part of regional water-quality compliance.
