ALERT - Effective immediately and for the foreseeable future, Muskego Dam Road will be closed between STH 36 and Kelsey Drive. A recent inspection revealed two culverts running underneath the road are failing, posing a safety risk to further vehicle traffic until the culverts can be replaced. Temporary barricades have been erected, and detour routes will be posted. We ask the public to follow the posted detours and refrain from moving the barricades, so this issue can be addressed in a safe and timely manner. Further updates will be posted on the City of Muskego website.

Check this out!!!

Join us this Friday at Badertscher Preserve for the kickoff of Muskego’s new Friday Volunteer Stewardship Crew!
We’ll spend the morning learning about and removing garlic mustard, an invasive woodland plant that reduces biodiversity and impacts wildlife habitat in our forests and natural areas. No experience is necessary — this is a great opportunity to learn a little ecological restoration while spending time outdoors with others who care about conservation and community.
We’ll also take some time to enjoy spring migration and do a little casual birding along the trails as warblers and other migratory birds continue moving through the area.

Coffee and doughnuts will be provided.

Please wear:
• Long pants
• Closed-toe shoes or boots
• Clothes appropriate for the weather
• Gloves if you have them

This is intended to be a relaxed and welcoming volunteer opportunity focused on stewardship, learning, and connection to the landscape.

Location: Badertscher Preserve
Time: 9:00am start, people are free to leave at any point, and we will wrap up at 1:00pm

If you are interested in attending please fill out the volunteer form attached:

**Attention Muskego Residents and Businesses**

It has come to our attention that some emails are being sent by a "BAD ACTOR" to look like they are coming from an employee of the city. These emails are asking real customers/residents, that we do business with, for payment of an invoice. These directions stated a reference to paying said invoice via wire transfer.

There were "RED FLAGS" that prompted this business that received this email to call the City as this email did not seem right. There were misspellings, wrong domain in the email address, wrong title of a staff person, invoice amount did not make sense, asking for a wire transfer, etc.

This is NOT a compromise, but it was someone "spoofing" with our information in the wild. Please be on the watch for this and if you are ever asked to pay a city bill in this manner, please call the city contact you have been dealing with to be sure that any payment/invoice requests are legitimate.

Here is a reminder from the SBA relating to August flood damage...

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Office of Disaster Recovery & Resilience (ODR&R), is currently on the ground in Wisconsin, supporting individuals and businesses affected by the severe storms and flooding that occurred between August 9–12, 2025. The both deadlines for physical damage businesses and to return economic injury applications have ended, but there is a 60-day grace period for potential applicants.

Waukesha County is eligible for the following loans:

Business Physical Disaster Loans – Loans to businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property owned by the business,
including real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery and equipment. Businesses of any size are eligible. Private, non-profit
organizations such as charities, churches, private universities, etc., are also eligible.

Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) – Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small
businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary
financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster.

Home Disaster Loans – Loans to homeowners or renters to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate and personal
property, including automobiles.

These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.
