Pewaukee Is Our Place
The Pewaukee River Partnership has recently joined with the Pewaukee Public Library, the Pewaukee Area Historical Society and the Pewaukee Chamber of Commerce to work on a Sense of Place Project called Pewaukee Is Our Place.
This project is designed to collect approximately 100 digital recordings of the historical recollections of local citizens. Each recording will be stored on a CD and assembled with other relevant items into a kit. The Library will catalogue the kits and house them in the Pewaukee reference section of the Library. An additional copy will be kept in the Clark House Museum.
As a result, these original resources will be conveniently available to the public for research purposes.

2006 Monitoring Season Ends
The Pewaukee River Monitoring Project focuses on collecting data from May through October. Over the course of the past summer, 23 monitors checked the River and its tributaries for six different elements: dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, stream flow, presence of macroinvertebrates and habitat at 9 different locations. The testing was done on more than 130 occasions. The project is coordinated by Jayne Jenks from the Waukesha Department of Parks and Land Use. All the data collected is entered into the statewide data base on rivers and streams. For further information, check out www.waukeshacounty.gov , go to water quality monitoring.

Village Hall Riverwalk
The Pewaukee River Partnership has volunteered to work with the Village of Pewaukee to build a riverwalk along the Pewaukee River at the rear of the the new Village Hall site. Mary Schwister, president, and Charlie Shong, vice-president, recently met with Scott Gosse, Village administrator, to discuss plans for cooperation. Construction of the new building will begin in early 2007. The proposed parking lot will extend from the building to the River. PRP offered to seek funding sources, secure necessary permits (DNR), develop the design and finally to build the riverwalk. The project would also include restoration of the the riverbank along the site. PRP also will look for ways to partner with other local groups to implement this project.
