On Tuesday, April 25, 2017, Shorewood Waterworks had an approximate 55% pressure loss in its water system due to Milwaukee Waterworks maintenance projects.
Village officials said when water pressure returns to your homes, it would spit air and also run cloudy. The Wisconsin DNR requires the water utility to collect two water samples following a loss of water pressure and recommended that Shorewood residents not drink or use it for potable purposes until samples verified that it is safe.
