MILWAUKEE -- The City of Milwaukee on Wednesday, Jan. 17 terminated one of its contracts with American Sewer Services. This, after a lunch box adorned with Confederate flag and Ku Klux Klan stickers was spotted at one of their job sites.



At Wednesday's meeting, the Common Council's Public Works Committee voted to part ways with the company on a project near 25th and Wells -- and left the door open that there could be further action against American Sewer Services since they’re still investigating.



American Sewer Services also submitted the lowest bid for a project, and that bid will be terminated, so the project will go to the next lowest bidder. American Sewer Services agreed to not contest these actions in any way.

This wasn't the first controversy involving the company. Three gun-wielding American Sewer Services workers sparked a firestorm of debate after a picture surfaced showing them holding weapons near 19th and Meinecke -- and went viral.

The company responded by firing or laying off the workers involved in each of these incidents.
