The Waukesha Water Commission convened on June 19, 2025, to discuss several key action items that will impact the city's water utility operations and infrastructure improvements. Among the notable decisions made during the meeting was the approval of funding for various projects aimed at enhancing the city's water services.

One significant item was the approval of $30,000 for staking and inspection services related to the 2025 asphalt street resurfacing and utility improvements. This project, which was previously bid and approved, will ensure that water mains are properly installed as part of the city's broader road improvement efforts. The commission noted that the construction costs came in under budget, allowing for this additional expenditure without straining financial resources.

In a similar vein, the commission also approved $32,000 for staking and inspection services for the Green Metal utility and street improvements. This project is split between sanitary and water services, reflecting the collaborative nature of municipal infrastructure projects.

Another critical discussion centered on the relocation of fiber optic lines due to ongoing roadwork by the state Department of Transportation. The commission approved a total of $98,225.25 for this relocation, which includes engineering fees. This move is essential to avoid conflicts with the new road construction and to maintain communication between the city’s water facilities.

Throughout the meeting, commissioners expressed satisfaction with the organization’s operational status and the financial management of ongoing projects. The discussions highlighted the importance of proactive planning and collaboration with external contractors to ensure that the city’s water infrastructure remains robust and efficient.

As Waukesha continues to invest in its water utility services, these decisions reflect a commitment to maintaining high standards for public works and ensuring that residents receive reliable water services. The commission's actions not only address immediate needs but also lay the groundwork for future improvements in the city's infrastructure.
