83 Residents Complete Storm Water Survey

Although not a high percentage, 83 of the 339 property owners logged into the Windings blog and completed the brief survey on storm water damage and sump pump usage.  The survey was requested by City of Waukesha engineer Paul Day, who is heading up a committee to address storm water runoff issues in Waukesha.  The number of respondents is commendable since it is close to the results we get each November when we mail out stamped, addressed postcards seeking proxy votes.  Typically, about 95-100 postcards are filled out and mailed to our post office box. 

The results of the survey have been forwarded to Day and our alderman Paul Ybarra.

WMC Woods Used to Stash Empties

The woods near the end of Newcastle Lane was chosen as depository for a large number of empty beer cans and bottles some time in the recent past.  Since the empties were all neatly bagged, it appears that the beverages were consumed elsewhere.  If you recognize the rather unique orange ties on the garbage bag, you may want to do some investigating.
