The Town of Madison is a member of the Madison Area Municipal Storm Water Partnership (17 central Dane County municipalities, Dane County and UW–Madison), which submitted a storm water discharge permit to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Rather than applying for the permit individually, these municipal entities joined forces to save time, money and resources. Their web site, www.myfairlakes.com, has a plethora of information on how citizens’ daily activities can have a positive impact on Dane County’s water resources.
