Waukesha County is (partially) in the Lake Michigan watershed, so they were always eligible under the terms of the Compact, even though Waukesha itself drains to the Fox/Illinois/Mississippi watershed.

It's not really the slippery slope that Wisco environmentalists tried to claim it was. They just don't like Waukesha Cty Republicans getting Lake water, or Lake water going to fuel urban sprawl.
