Hi, Richard - Prior to the Deep Tunnels, the Greater Milwaukee region used to pollute Lake Michigan with an average of 50-60 overflows a year and now we average 2.3. The Deep Tunnels have prevented more than 138 billion gallons of pollution from getting into Lake Michigan. Thanks to the deep tunnels and many other improvements, MMSD has captured and cleaned 98.4% of all the stormwater and wastewater that's entered the regional sewer system since 1994. The goal nationally is to capture and clean 85% of water for more than 700 cities with systems like ours.

@@mmsdgood afternoon. A lifelong resident of Chicago. Seem like you guys have something similar to the TARP system we have here. For our system, we have three quarries to hold the waste water until treatment. My question is do you guys have quarries as well that hold the waste water too?
@@KingSpaceySprockets Great question! • MMSD does not use quarries. In 1993, the inline Storage System (ISS) went online to store separate and combine sewer flows during large rain events. The ISS consists of nearly 30 miles of tunnels within our service area that are up to 32 feet in diameter and 340 feet below ground. The tunnels converge at our Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility (JIWRF) where the flow is pumped to grade and can be treated at JIWRF or sent through our Metropolitan Interceptor Sewer (MIS) System to our South Shore Water Reclamation Facility.
