BELLEVUE, WI — The first of miles of pipeline that will one day bring Lake Michigan drinking water to Green Bay's suburbs could be laid this summer — a year earlier than planned, The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported.
According to the paper, the Water Authority's Technical Committee endorsed a plan on March 30 aimed at taking advantage of sanitary sewer work planned this year to jump-start pipeline construction.
When completed in 2006, the project will make the Water Authority a wholesale customer of the Manitowoc Water Utility, the article stated.
The Water Authority hopes to overcome financial and regulatory hurdles to allow installation of about 5,000 feet of 20-inch water line in Hobart while the sewer work is in progress this year.
