Title
Substitute resolution relating to water service to the City of New Berlin.
Analysis
In order to evaluate the feasibility of amending the current water service agreement between Milwaukee and New Berlin to allow for the expansion of the City of New Berlin water service area to include the middle one-third area within the municipal limits contained within the MMSD sewerage system but west of the subcontinental divide, this resolution directs:
