R/M provided planning, design, and construction engineering services for the aeration system upgrade. Through this project, the aeration blowers were replaced, the underground air piping was replaced with above-ground piping with continuously welded joints, and the aeration basin diffusers were replaced with a more efficient type.
The Village of Dousman desired to update the area along Main Street to revitalize the downtown and positively influence the business climate. The aging and failing pavement and underground infrastructure pushed the Village into moving forward with this project.
The City of Kenosha has an aged storm sewer system with multiple improvements. However, they had no way to quantify those improvements as part of their MS4 Permit. Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M) was retained to perform a comprehensive City-wide storm water study for both water quantity and water quality. Additionally, R/M is providing the analysis in conjunction with a GIS interface.
Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M) supervised the reconstruction of portions of South Street, Third Street and South Main Street in the City of Oconomowoc. The project involved rehabilitation of the sanitary sewers and water mains, as well as a complete reconstruction of the urban crosssection streets, including storm sewer, curb and gutter, decorative street lighting, and brick paved terraces and cross walks.
The Racine Water Utility needed to increase water rates to meet increasing operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, and property tax equivalent payments. Ruekert & Mielke applied to the Wisconsin Public Service Commission and prepared a water rate study, supported by the PSC. Submitting its own rate study allowed Racine more control over the new water rate agreements, allowing it to increase revenue by $1.5 million, while keeping water rates competitive, and reducing fees to the City of Racine for water utilized for fire protection.
The City of Hudson and Village of North Hudson share their water and sanitary sewer systems. The Village and City own different parts of both systems.

The City of Franklin, Wisconsin, had a $13 million-dollar goal to supply new growth to parks and trails through 2030. Ruekert & Mielke prepared an impact fee study for Franklin including: updating service-level standards, development, and capital cost forecasts. The revised impact fees will allow Franklin to acquire and develop 252 acres of new parks, and five miles of new trails.
