NEW BERLIN, Wis. - New Berlin 's mayor on Wednesday, May 10 lifted an emergency order put in place after a March oil spill . For the first time in two months, it meant Terry Quigley was back on his favorite trail. "It's good to have it open again. The neighborhood uses it," he said. "They wouldn't let us run through here. There was an alternative route." On March 16, city leaders said employees at Moorland Auto Repair were moving a 350-gallon oil storage tote when it was damaged. Oil got into city storm sewers, a creek and retention ponds.
