Plan Reviews
The Engineering Department assists the Department of Public Works and the Community Development Department (including the planning and inspection divisions) with plan reviews. Plan documents are reviewed for conformance with village standards, other governing agency standards, and design and construction standards typically practiced in southeast Wisconsin.
All drawings and reports submitted for Plan Commission review or Village Engineer review shall without exception:
1) Bear the seal and signature of a Wisconsin Professional Engineer [see Wisconsin Administrative Code, Ch. A-E 2, Sec. 2.02], and
2) Be administered compliant with all Professional Conduct standards [see Wisconsin Administrative Code, Ch. A-E 8].
The village is a charter member of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD). Therefore, the village is subservient to MMSD's requirements. The MMSD developed a Sewer Plan Review Submittal Toolkit to assist developers, engineers, and municipalities in complying with their requirements.
