This is a public informational meeting and a public hearing on the Village of Somers application to divert Lake Michigan water with return flow to Lake Michigan.
The Village of Somers proposes to divert up to an annual average of 1.2 million gallons of water per day to the Mississippi River Basin. The Great Lakes Compact requires that the water be treated and returned to the Lake Michigan Basin, less an allowance for consumptive use. The Village of Somers purchases water from the Kenosha Water Utility and returns wastewater to the Kenosha Wastewater Utility.
The hearing will be held remotely via Zoom starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 10, 2021. The hearing will include a brief informational presentation followed by an opportunity for the public to provide oral comments. Pre-registration is also available and is strongly encouraged if you plan to provide spoken comments during the hearing.
