Rally to Keep Milwaukee's Water Public
The City of Milwaukee Water is Works is a well-managed, efficient public utility. As a result, water rates are relatively low and the water is high quality.
Some City of Milwaukee leaders have proposed privatizing the system through a long term lease in a desperate effort to generate revenue. Privatization has been tried in other cities and led to: soaring water rates; declining investment in water system infrastructure; political corruption; and a lack of accountability.
You can help stop this by:
1) Signing the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com
2) Come to the Milwaukee City Hall (200 E Wells St) Monday, June 15th, at 12:30 p.m. to attend a rally, then the Steering and Rules Committee Meeting at 1:30 p.m. Let the aldermen know that we do not support privatizing Milwaukee's water.
Be there!
