Possible merger of Lake Pewaukee Sanitary District into the City

Summary

The City's sewer service agreement with LPSD expires at the end of 2027, and the two systems operating side by side creates confusion and coordination headaches. A merger could mean one point of contact for residents and possibly efficiencies, but the City would take on decades-old 1970s infrastructure — though ratepayers are already funding it through higher LPSD rates.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

A feasibility study would cost under $100,000; the long-term rate impact of a merger won't be known until that study is done.

✅Who benefits

City sewer customers could get a single point of contact and more control over infrastructure upgrades and future rates.

⚠️Who could be affected

Uncertain — residents served by LPSD in the Town of Delafield portion could face unresolved questions about who serves them.
