Milwaukee is about to shell out $2 million on a filtering system at a wastewater treatment plant in a bid to stop condoms from floating into Lake Michigan.
The issue drew attention when a fisherman saw hundreds of used condoms in the Milwaukee harbor. Since then, the city has paid somebody $460 a day to scoop the spent contraceptives out with long-handled nets.
