MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- After much anticipation over the past few days, the Milwaukee Bucks successfully turned the Milwaukee River green Friday morning.

The dyeing process was a collaboration between Milwaukee Department of Works, Wisconsin DNR and the Plumber's Union.

Crews used two boats pouring a powder dye into the water and then a third boat agitated the water to help the dye mix in.
