Public Informational Meeting Notice - Waukesha Diversion Application

The State of Michigan will hold an informational meeting and accept public comment on the Waukesha, Wisconsin water diversion application submitted to the Great Lakes Compact Council. This community, located within a “straddling county” to the basin, has applied to divert water from Lake Michigan for drinking water due to naturally-occurring radium contamination in its groundwater aquifers.

The meeting will occur on February 9, 2016 at the Lansing Community College West Campus, located at 5708 Cornerstone Dr., Lansing, Michigan 48917. (Room M119-M122)  between 1:00 – 3:00 pm, and repeated again between 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Both sessions of the public meeting will be streamed live at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ihpbe and recorded for later viewing.

Interested individuals may learn more and submit comments online at www.michigan.gov/waterdiversion. Comments will be accepted until March 1. All comments will be collected by a Michigan review committee, summarized, and forwarded to the Great Lakes Compact Council.
