Whitefish Bay officials received more detail about an $11 million plan to temporarily store rain water in a Cahill Park basin, while adding larger sewer pipes and catch basins downstream.
Cahill Park would be lowered as much as eight to nine feet in some areas to temporarily hold rain water under a proposal presented by the village's engineering consultants Monday night. The concept of a storm water retention facility was presented last year as a way to reduce surface flooding in the area. The village hired Crispell Snyder later in the year to design a storm water management plan in the area, which is roughly bordered by Ardmore Avenue on the east, Henry Clay Street on the north, Shoreland Avenue on the west and Glendale Avenue on the south. The plan would not affect the tennis courts or playground equipment on the west end of the park, but would lower the western portion of the park to hold rain water. The northern end of …

With $312,000 contract, civil engineering firm aims to have the storm water solutions planned by next fall.
The Whitefish Bay Village Board voted Monday night to pay a civil engineering firm as much as $312,000 to design storm water management tools in the southwest portion of the village. The board unanimously approved the contract with Crispell Snyder, the civil engineering firm that conducted the study of the southwestern drainage basin, which is roughly bordered by Ardmore Avenue on the east, Henry Clay Street on the north, Shoreland Avenue on the west and Glendale Avenue on the south. The consultants presented their $5 million storm water management plan in January, saying the plan could take up to nine years to implement, with most of the construction being done in the first four years. The project would lower the grade of the western …

But consultants' estimates presented Monday don't include cost of fixing sanitary sewers.
More than a year after a deluge of rain water pummeled Whitefish Bay, consultants hired to fix sewer problems in the village delivered their preliminary findings to more than 50 residents Monday night. During their presentation at Cumberland School, consultants Donohue and Associates recommended the village replace its storm sewers to accomodate heavier rainfall, as well as create a retention area in Cahill Park to store some of the stormwater. The price tag associated with the project depends on the level of protection the Village Board decides upon at a future meeting. For $23 million in construction costs, consultant Steve Stricklen of Donohue said enough storm sewers could be replaced to keep village streets dry if 3.8 inches of rain …

WHY NOT FLOOD CAHILL ABOVE GROUND SAY AS IN LIKE AN ABOVE GROUND POOLS? ONE WOULD NEED PUMPS TEMPORARY WALLS WHICH COULD BE 4X8 PLYWOOD SHEETS DROPPED IN A RUBBERIZED FOOTING WITH SLOTS SUPPORTED BY TENT LIKE STAKES AND A ROPE FROM FROM THE INSIDE IN REACTION TO FROCE OF WATER ON THE INSIDE. HOLES COULD BE PUT IN THE WALLS AT THE 1-4 FOOT LEVELS. AND PLUGGED AS THE WATER RISES more ›
