Did you know we use green infrastructure to help manage water where it falls at the West Allis Farmers Market? In 2023, we won the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Green Luminary Award for our use of porous pavement and bioswales that provide up to 16,000 gallons of capture capacity each time it rains, benefiting our lakes, rivers and communities. Stop by the West Allis Farmers Market, which opens for the season on Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m., to check out this award-winning infrastructure. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d8vVsWJc
