MMSD overflow noted; bidding for 43rd Street ditch project may start construction this fall

Village of West Milwaukee Village Board · August 3, 2026

Summary

Village President Stalewski noted a recent minor combined sewer overflow tied to a rain event; Administrator Egan said the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) is preparing to bid the next phase of the 43rd Street ditch project with construction possible this fall and anticipated lane closures.

President John Stalewski told the board that a recent rain event produced a minor combined sewer overflow and that he discussed regional issues with County Supervisor Sky Capriolo. Administrator Egan reported that MMSD is preparing to bid the next phase of the 43rd Street ditch project; bid opening is anticipated imminently and construction could begin this fall, with lane closures expected in the project area.

Egan said the project has been under discussion for roughly a decade and expressed optimism that competitive bids could allow the work to be completed. The minutes do not list project cost estimates, specific contractors or a detailed schedule beyond the general expectation of fall construction if bids are favorable.

Residents should expect temporary lane closures in the 43rd Street area during the construction window; the village will provide updates as contracts are awarded.
