WAUKESHA – Waukesha’s transition to Lake Michigan water is complete!
The Waukesha Water Utility says the 100% Lake Michigan water switch was completed two weeks earlier than anticipated after years of preparation to minimize the impact to residents. Most customers did not experience any discolored water or smell during the transition.
The utility is recommending that customers replace their aerators and filters. If households are using softeners, they must be optimized by January 1, 2025, or try the unsoftened lake water for one to two months by temporarily placing your softener in the bypass mode and unplugging it.
More details about water softening options can be found on the City of Waukesha’s website.
On their Facebook, Waukesha Water Utility thanked the City of Waukesha’s residents and businesses, the surrounding communities, the contractors, and the employees for their support throughout this process.
