The Elm Grove Beautification Committee reported that 63 of the village’s 190 storm drains have been adopted (33.1%) and discussed strategies to boost resident participation. The committee announced that SweetWater will attend the Winter Salt Week Open House on Jan. 31 from 1–3 p.m. to engage residents and help promote Adopt Your Drain efforts.
Minutes show the committee has officially adopted the Underwood Creek stretch through the park and plans to participate in the MRK day cleanup on April 25, likely at 11 a.m. The Jan. 31 open house will feature partners including SweetWater, Milwaukee Riverkeeper, MMSD, Fresh Coast Guardians and SEWRPC, and will present preliminary continuous‑logger data and a demonstration on how to make brine.
