Journal Sentinel reports that removing Estabrook Dam will save lots of money
March 5, 2009
Milwaukee County officials are considering a plan to remove the Estabrook dam on the Milwaukee River as one of the options for dealing with the aging east side structure.
A new report by the county has concluded it would be cheaper to tear down the dam at a cost of $2 million, rather than make repairs. Fixing it would cost as much as $12 million, the report found.
