The Sewerage System of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee River Flushing Works
The city of Milwaukee, with a population of about 240 000, is situated on the west shore of Lake Michigan about 100 miles below the head of the lake and 86 miles north of the city of Chicago. Its area is 21 sq. miles, having a length of 6½ miles north and south along the lake front, with a maximum width of 4½ miles from the lake shore. It is divided into four natural divisions by three rivers converging into one common outlet about midway between the north and south limits. The natural outlet of these rivers was originally ½ mile further south, but, in order to improve the harbor, the city in 1854 constructed the present outlet, which since that time has been extended and maintained by the Government as the harbor entrance, the old outlet meanwhile having been closed by the sand accretions and the action of the waves.
