Wauwatosa uses green infrastructure to help manage stormwater and reduce its impact on our community. Examples include rain barrels and rain gardens, green roofs, bioswales, and trees.
Green infrastructure projects are made possible through our participation in the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District’s Green Solutions and Green Infrastructure Partnership Programs. Learn more.
