Winter storm watch; Milwaukee DPW working main streets
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Department of Public Works’ (DPW) snow and ice staff team were called in late Wednesday night and have been working to salt main streets and will then proceed to side streets. This, as light to moderate snowfall continues across the county.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for all of southeast Wisconsin to be in effect from 6 a.m. Friday, Jan. 12 through 12 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 13.
Garbage and Recycling Collections: Snow events could cause delays in garbage or recycling collections. No impacts to garbage or recycling are expected at this time, changes and updates will be posted online. Please clear snow and ice around and on top of your garbage and recycling carts and clear a path, so the carts can be easily rolled from the collection point to the truck.
Your normal scheduled collection days can be found at https://city.milwaukee.gov/sanitation/GarbageRecyclingSchedules
Parking: No impact to parking expected at this time. However, if a snow emergency is called, updates will be posted online. Always follow posted signs and park as close to the curb as possible to give room for the large salt and plow trucks to pass through the streets. Winter parking regulations began Dec. 1, with no parking 2 a.m. – 6 a.m. on through highways and bus routes. Posted signs take precedence, such as streets posted “No Parking Dec 1 – Mar 1”.
The DPW encourages those that park on the street to sign up for E-notify and text message notifications at Milwaukee.gov/parking

Ways you can help during a snow operation:
- Please be patient and understanding, snow and ice operations take time, all streets will be cleared. Drive carefully and plan your route to stay on main transportation routes as much as possible during snow and ice events.
- Only travel if absolutely necessary.
- Adjust driving for conditions by slowing down and providing more space for braking.
- Give salt and plow trucks space and stay back from the trucks salting or brining streets to ensure the product hits the streets instead of your car.
- Park legally and follow alternate side parking rules. DPW does a better job when parking rules are followed. Parking farther away from driveways, alleys and intersections allows our equipment to get through.
- Do not shovel, blow or plow snow back into the streets.
- Shovel your sidewalk and corners within 24 hours after the snow has stopped falling, assist neighbors who need help.
- Clear the fire hydrant near your property of snow and ice.
- Clear snow and ice around and on top of your garbage and recycling carts.

The Wolves grabbed an early lead when Bradley Nadeau potted his ninth goal of the season 8:21 into the game.
David Edstrom and the Admirals league-leading power-play knotted the score at one with just under seven minutes to play in the frame. With the penalty winding down, Cole Hara’s shot from between the wheels was deflected in by Edstrom for his fifth tally of the year.
However, the Wolves would score two more to close out the frame, including one by Domonic Fensore with just 0.7 seconds left in the first.
Milwaukee would get one back during the second period courtesy of a Ryan Ufko power-play marker. Stationed in the high slot, Ufko took a feed from Daniel Carr and ripped a one-timer over the shoulder of Chicago netminder Amir Miftakhov.

MILWAUKEE – An issue at the Valley Power Plant caused a temporary steam outage for downtown Milwaukee buildings on Saturday, Dec. 13.
Steam service interrupted
What we know:
According to We Energies, the gas supply to the Valley Power Plant was interrupted on Saturday morning, causing it to go offline. The plant produces steam for downtown buildings for heating.
We Energies says it has restored service to the steam system and is bringing steam back to customers, but the restoration process requires steam pressure to build back up in the steam system. Once pressure reaches safe levels, steam service can be delivered to customers.

Customers should begin to see service return over the next few hours, and some are already restored.
We Energies says it does not anticipate any more steam outages, and that this issue is not affecting electric or natural gas service.
Show canceled
What we know:
The Marcus Performing Arts Center says its building has been impacted by the steam outage and, as a result, had to cancel its 1 p.m. matinée performance of The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza!
Ticket holders will be contacted directly to get further information about next steps.
All other shows at the Marcus Performing Arts Center will go on as scheduled.
