Green Summer

It's a Green Summer in Glendale!


Have you ever wondered what happens to the rain that falls onto your property? Do you want to help protect our rivers and Lake Michigan?

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, in collaboration with the City of Glendale and Visit Glendale, is sponsoring Glendale Green Summer! We are installing a limited number of FREE rain barrels and rain gardens at homes across the city, starting conversations about the impacts of stormwater runoff, and hosting virtual events to help you beautify your yard and manage stormwater better. You can be part of the solution with Glendale Green Summer!

Contact the Glendale Green Summer team to learn how you can make a difference in our community and install a rain barrel, rain garden or other Green Infrastructure yourself! Give us a call or text at 414-345-8710, email us at GlendaleGreenSummer@gmail.com, check us out on FaceBook, and look for us all around the city!
