Ald. Bohl's Bold Two-Step Water Sale Plan

He suggests one negotiation for Milwaukee water with and for Waukesha, one separately including the smaller ccommunities Waukesha wants to serve.

Interesting proposal to get negotiations started, but I don't see Waukesha agreeing. It wants the whole enchilada now, and has the DNR in its corner.

And wants to be a new regional water wholesaler, so I don't see it accepting a piecemeal ptlan while Oak Creek and Racine purportedly are willing to sell Waukesha all the water it wants.

And while lawyers would decide if the Bohl plan would require a second diversion application, give the Milwaukee alderman credit for his initiative.
