Following last night’s heavy rainfall, the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) continues to assess flood-related damage and respond to impacted areas across the city.

Crews have been out and working continuously since the flooding began, focusing on clearing surface water and responding to service requests. We ask for your patience as this work continues throughout the day.

Please continue to avoid flooded areas and do not walk or drive through standing water. It remains dangerous.

We ask that you please report any street flooding, water backing up into basements, downed trees or limbs, and stranded or disabled vehicles.

To report these issues, call 414-286-CITY (2489), visit milwaukee.gov/Click4Action, or use the MKEmobile app. For emergencies, call 911.
