Positive sewer-aging.

By Joe Mangiamele

Recent watery weather combined with inadequate sewer systems has resulted in flooded basements in Shorewood.

These are long-standing problems that pose negative sanitary conditions.

Who represents these citizens of Shorewood and can speak of solutions? What are the proposed plans for handling these sewer situations in the future?

Along with an aging population, we also have an aging drainage and sewer situation, all requiring the attention of would-be local and state officials. Let's get some answers from them.

Affected citizens would like to hear from those presently in office and those running later this year, as to  the long term plans or approaches that are going to be taken relative to these and other aging elements of our community

In the most positive sense, let's hear about the present backup solutions for flooding basements and the long term plans for upgrading our sewers.

Shorewood   

Shorewood has a combined sewer system, which means when it rains alot and MMSD dumps sewage into Lake Michigan, Shorewood residents are guilty of that environmental crime.  We need to take it upon ourselves and replace this system with a divided one...one sanitary and one for storm water.   It will cost alot of money, if Shorewood residents are as environmentally conscious as we say we are then we will gladly pay the price.

We must build a sewer system.   Shorewood pollutes Lake Michigan whenever MMSD dumps into Lake Michigan.
