Horeth to Resign from WWMD
Fellow Waterford Riparian Property Owners:
It is with sincere regret that I announce my resignation from the WWMD board. A situation in my personal life has resulted in my inabilities to continue in this role and properly serve the members of the riparian community.
While this decision has been extremely difficult, I remain extremely enthusiastic about the members of the board and their dedication and commitment to serving the waterway and am sure they will continue to do a fabulous job.
As a part of my departure, the board has reviewed possible replacements on the board for my vacant position and I am very excited to announce that the board has nominated and approved Tom Mroczkowski to fill the open board position. t
The board will be meeting in the coming weeks to determine specific roles. At this time rest assured that your board is in excellent hands with the 7 members you have representing Waterford and our waterway. I have included below information regarding Tom’s background to reflect the depth of his experience in roles that will certainly add value to the board.
There is a link below to his LinkedIn profile which is reasonably robust in terms of summarizing his career experiences and formal volunteer roles.
Most recently, on December 31, 2024 he concluded a 10-year tenure on the board of SHARP Literacy, Inc. in Milwaukee. He served as chairman of that board for three of his ten years with that wonderful organization.

Since my retirement, I was appointed to the Town of Waterford - Planning Commission in May 2023. I’ve actively served in the role of planning commissioner since that time.
In July 2023 the Town of Waterford board of supervisors appointed me to serve on the working committee tasked with drafting a Cooperative Boundary Plan between the Town and Village of Waterford. I continue to actively serve in that role along with two town supervisors, one village trustee, and the village president. The Cooperative Plan we’ve developed has received preliminary approval from both the town and village boards. It is scheduled for a formal public hearing on February 19th, after which it will receive a final vote from both municipal boards and be forwarded on to the state of Wisconsin for final review and approval.
As you know, I have also been an active volunteer serving the WWMD since October 2023. I assisted in the search and selection of a new legal services firm for the district. I assisted in developing and maintaining the system used to track waterway water levels post implementation of the Waukesha water diversion project. And I assisted in development of an online collaboration platform to enhance communication between other lake management districts and associations in southeastern Wisconsin.
I will continue to be available as a resource through the transition and into the future in anyway the board sees appropriate. It has been a privilege to work with this group of dedicated volunteers and remain humbled by all that the WWMD has accomplished
Thank you for your support and trust in the WWMD

Dredging Project
Learn More About the Project
Project Description
The objective of this project is to address and improve water depths in areas adjacent to the
channels already identified in the past as requiring dredging, but at a smaller scale that may
be approved and funded at a faster pace than previous dredging efforts with minimal or no
engineering/consulting costs. The project would follow the guidelines of an existing DNR
dredging permit for individual riparian owners allowing up to 50 cubic yards of sediment per
property to be removed each year for the next three years. One permit per year will be filed
for approximately 500 owners, at a cost that the majority of owners will agree to by vote,
which would then be added to tax levies.
Project Update (5/2/22)
The Waterford Waterway Management District (WWMD) has partnered with engineering firms Kieser & Associates and Geosyntec to go out for bid in May of 2022 for dredging of the Fox River and Tichigan Lake in Waterford, WI. The total amount of sediment to be removed over the course of four years will be approximately 145,935 cubic yards. The bid package and project manual will be available after May 13th at 2:00pm. A site visit with the engineers will be available on May 18th. Bidders have until June 10th at 2:00pm to submit proposals to the WWMD.
