Article: Cost of `sewer wars' is $10 million and rising State memo examines county-suburb clash; Dispute dates to 1983 Since 1983, suburbs outside of Milwaukee County a coalition called FLOW, or Fair Liquidation of Waste have fought the sewerage district's unilateral decision to bill them for sewer construction costs based on property values. The communities are Brookfield, Butler, Elm Grove, Germantown, Mequon, Menomonee Falls, New Berlin and Thiensville. Prior to that time, the communities paid their share of construction costs based on the volume of sewage they flushed into the regional system. They want to continue paying construction costs on that basis, which amounts to lesser charges than the flat property tax rate preferred by the district. The sewerage district says the suburbs owe close to $150 million.
