About the Award Winning Projects
Racine Water & Wastewater Utility
Mount Pleasant TID 5 & Environs Water Project
The Racine Water & Wastewater Utility (RWWU) partnered with Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M) to expand the utility’s water distribution network and provide an average of 5.8 million gallons per day (mgd) for approximately 20 million sq. ft. of new manufacturing space in the Village of Mount Pleasant. This expansion included:
Two new pumping stations
Significant improvements to two existing pumping stations
New elevated storage tank
174,540 feet (nearly 34 miles) of new water main measuring 36” to 48” in diameter
Village of Mukwonago
TID 5 Business Park
In 2017, the Village was in the early stages of siting a new business park when a growing local business, Banker Wire, approached the Village Administrator with their plans for expansion. Banker Wire preferred to keep their facilities within the Village, but they were also exploring neighboring communities for adequately sized, shovel-ready building sites that could not be found in Mukwonago at that time.
Faced with the prospect of losing an important local business, the Village began discussions with R/M (the Village Engineer) and Banker Wire to develop an innovative solution that would significantly expedite the planning, design, and construction of the new business park, allowing Banker Wire to keep their business in the Village.
