MMSD: Conservation Easement

Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District enters into conservation easements with private property owners that install green infrastructure on their property and receive a reimbursement from MMSD for doing so. This ensures the green infrastructure is properly operated and maintained and allows MMSD to rely on these localized solutions to manage rainwater where it falls.
