City of South
Milwaukee Water Declared Safe
Residents and Food
Establishments Can Resume Normal Operations
South Milwaukee, WI – Residents of South Milwaukee are
now able to consume the city tap water, the city announced on
Saturday.
They may now drink the water,
use the water to cook food, make infant formula, and bathe
infants as they normally would. All South Milwaukee food
establishments and businesses may resume operations as usual.
Per the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources, tests have come back negative for any
bacteria, following the repair Friday night of the City’s
primary water main, which had broken earlier in the day.
Approximately 1,800 families
received water from two distribution sites Friday evening. The
process was efficient, and the city wishes to thank all
residents for their patience and understanding, as well as those
companies, organizations and communities that donated water
during the city-wide emergency.
Residents who drank city tap water on Friday
should continue to monitor their symptoms. If they experience
any diarrhea, cramps, nausea or headaches, they should call
their healthcare provider.
