Kilbourn Reservoir Park Update September 11, 2006
Tot Lot
Construction to replace the tot lot on the north side of the property has begun. Expected completion was September
15 but rainy weather has delayed the project. The Department of Public Works Building and Fleet section is
managing this project. For safety reasons, the new tot lot will not be open for public use until the Kilbourn
Reservoir Park project has been completed and the area is no longer a construction site.
Gatehouse Atop Reservoir
The Water Works has hired a contractor to move this building from the top of the reservoir down to the parking
area (inside the fence) by the buildings on the southwest corner of the property. This will allow construction to
begin on the reservoir without concerns about this structure.
Asbestos Removal
A contractor has been awarded a contract to remove the asbestos material from the tennis court area atop the
reservoir. The Department of Natural Resources was provided the required 10-day notice last week. A
preconstruction meeting is pending. The Department of Public Works Buildings and Fleet section is also managing
this project.
Kilbourn Decommissioning Project
Bids were opened on August 31, 2006. Award of the contract is pending. There will be a preconstruction meeting
within 10 days of the contract award. Actual construction will begin after the gatehouse has been relocated and
asbestos has been removed.
The Milwaukee Water Works will continue to provide updates as developments occur. Check our web site regularly:
