City of Port Washington & Village of Saukville Utility Service Agreement Wagner stated, a s part of the Village’s ongoing commitment to long -term infrastructure planning, the Village has been working on an upgrade to our current Sewer Service Area. As part of this planning process, Port Washington & Saukville staff worked cooperatively to identify future growth areas for each community to be served with sanitary sewer. Because there is land within each community’s growth area that could be served by the other community’s sanitary sewer and that developers may have a preference to be in the oth er sewer service area, staff developed an agreement to allow movement of land from one sewer service area to the other community’s sewer service area. This agreement will help facilitate efficient growth for each community by cooperatively moving land between sewer services areas. The Village’s Economic Development Consultant, Claude Lois & the Village Attorney has reviewed the proposed Agreement. The City of Port Washington Board of Public Works reviewed & recommended to the City Council the approval of the Utility Service Agreement on June 9th. The City Council will be reviewing the Agreement on June 16th.

Topics Covered  Need for Amendment  Proposed SSSA Amendment  Land Use & Zoning Updates  Capacity Calculations  SEWRPC & WDNR Approvals 2 Need For Amendment  Data Center Construction in Port Washington
City of Port Washington submitted an A mendment for SSSA changes, including areas other than the data center.
Some areas were desirable land between the V illage and the City.
The Village and City are working on Agreement ( in packet) for the SSSA.
Completing an amendment solidifies the SSSA f or future development in the Village. 3 Proposed SSSA Amendment  Added areas coincide with the a greement in progress with the City.  Do not necessarily need to be w ithin the current Village boundaries.  Existing SSSA = 3,001 Acres  Added SSSA = 683 Acres 4 5 Village Zoning Map  Existing Village Zoning with t he existing SSSA and added SSSA borders shown.  Zoning and Land Use may n eed to be updated in the next Comprehensive Plan update (2026-2027). 6 7 Future Land Use  For the Amendment, all land w ithin the existing and added SSSA must be assigned a future land use classification
Can be changed in the future, not b inding  Use to calculate future sanitary se wer flows, assuming the entire SSSA is developed. 8 9 Resulting Calculations 10 Resulting Calculations  All comparisons are made in Peak Hourly Flow at the WWTP
Future Theoretical Peak Hourly Flow (Existing and Ad ded SSSA)  4.134 MGD
Current WWTP Rated Peak Hourly Capacity  3.800 MGD
Typically this would require a full facilities plan to identify upgrades  In process of re-rating the WWTP to MGD 4.1.  Current design was based on conservative assumptions 11 SEWRPC and WDNR Submittals  SEWRPC governs SSSA boundary changes.
WDNR reviews relative to capacity and upgrades.  Separate submittal to WDNR to re-rate the WWTP c apacity will be completed prior to SEWRPC.  If WWTP can be shown with adequate capacity, S EWRPC SSSA Amendment should be straight- forward with approval. 12 VILLAGE OF SAUKVILLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY BIOSOLIDS HANDLING FACILITIES MODIFICATIONS Village Board Meeting June 16, 2026 Dave Arnott Team Leader / Project Manager, Ruekert & Mielke, Inc.
