(WI) Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Mayor Larry Nelson has canceled a Dec. 8 public hearing and special Common Council meeting on the city’s proposed switch to Lake Michigan water. 

The meeting will be rescheduled in early January to give city staff more time to complete a draft application, officials said.

Waukesha intends to seek the approval of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and each of the governors of the seven other Great Lakes states to buy Lake Michigan water. More
