What's Another $500 Million??

This little cost-problem was announced in the Fox Valley a few weeks ago; now MMSD figured out what it would have to pay...

...the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District alone might spend $500 million or more, to build new filters needed to comply with proposed restrictions on the amount of phosphorus discharged by sewage treatment plants,...

To pay for the filters, MMSD estimates it would increase property tax rates billed to the communities it serves by 28% or more...

Why not? Use dishwasher soap which doesn't work and raise the price of sewage.
