It’s not exactly an olive branch, but a new branch of the village of Shorewood Hills sanitary sewer system may be a peace symbol in often-rancorous relations between the village and the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
“The village of Shorewood Hills and the University of Wisconsin have had historically a prickly relationship,” said Al Fish, university facilities planning director.
He and Village Administrator Karl Frantz saw a way to smooth that relationship when Frantz approached Fish with a proposal by which the UW could provide a low-cost solution to an otherwise very costly problem for the village.
