UPDATE: An individual from the Journal Sentinel sent us a follow-up on the story. It was not fuel being spilled into the water.
We checked when someone forwarded your blog post. The U.S. Coast Guard says this was actually sediment from an aerator that keeps ice off the boats. No fuel spill, the Coast Guard says.
One of the Edelweiss boats docked along the Riverwalk adjacent to the Highland Avenue pedestrian bridge appears to have begun leaking fuel into the Milwaukee River. The Milwaukee Fire Department is on the scene to assess the situation, and presumably will be acting shortly.
Urban Milwaukee has obtained exclusive photos of the incident from an anonymous source.
