Milwaukee has been positioning itself to become the fresh water capital of the world. And it appears the efforts so far, are paying off. Tuesday the United Nations designated Milwaukee as a Global Compact City. Only about a dozen others have that distinction.

He spoke to WUWM’s LaToya Dennis about the designation.
