WAUKESHA, WISC. — The city of Waukesha, Wisc. is seeking approval to use Lake Michigan for drinking water, the River Falls Journal reported.
The city, which lies outside Lake Michigan’s natural basin, is the first under the 2008 Great Lakes water protection agreement to attempt to use the lake for drinking water, according to the story.
Waukesha must get approval from all eight Great Lakes’ states before it can tap into the lake, the article stated.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will conduct an environmental impact study before approving the city’s request, according to the report.
