6/12/2026 8:05 a.m. The Water Drop Alert is now over with no sewer overflows. Thank you for reducing your water usage during this alert.

Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District - MMSD has issued a Water Drop Alert due to the recent heavy rain and storms. Reducing water use citywide will also help ease strain on the City operated Fox River Water Pollution Control Center.

When storms hit, every drop matters! Using less water helps prevent basement backups and sewer overflows.

Please do your part: turn off your taps when not in use, delay laundry and dishes, take shorter showers, and empty your rain barrel.

By the way, did you know the City is serviced on the eastern side by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), and on the western side by the Fox River Water Pollution Control Center (FRWPCC), which is operated by the City of Brookfield, due to straddling the sub-continental divide?!
