Wausau Sewer Service Area Plan 2040 Update
WDNR Administrative Decision Wausau SSA Plan 2040 Update
The Wausau Urban Area 2025 Sewer Service Area (SSA) Plan updates planning goals, objectives, and procedures, and expands the sewer service area by adding 12,823 acres, for a new total SSA of 53, 271 acres. Initially, approximately 29% of this area (15,271 acres) will be undeveloped. The SSA excludes wetlands, floodplain and steep slope areas that are considered "environmentally sensitive areas". The plan update has been adopted by the Marathon County Metropolitan Planning Commission. The approval of this sewer service area amendment does not constitute approval of any other local, state, or federal permit that may be required for sewer construction or associated land development activities.
The 2025 Wausau Urban Area Sewer Service Plan was prepared by Becher-Hoppe Associates, Inc., adopted by the Marathon County Metropolitan Planning Commission, and approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in March 2008.
