Waukesha wastewater would not degrade Underwood Creek, study finds

Pumping Waukesha's treated wastewater to Underwood Creek in Wauwatosa would not degrade the stream or spur algae growth, according to a study released Wednesday.

With the finding, Waukesha officials say, the city clears a hurdle in its long-running quest to tap Lake Michigan water to replace the city's radium-tainted groundwater.
