Sewage, bacteria and viruses found in some Milwaukee streams
- "Two types of human-associated bacteria and three types of human viruses were detected in Milwaukee streams within the Menomonee River watershed... 'Leaky infrastructure and overflows from sanitary sewers can contaminate urban waterways, and the detection of human-associated bacteria and viruses indicates the presence of sewage, a potential health hazard,' said Peter Lenaker, a USGS scientist and the lead author of the study." - Excerpt from USGS.
