Water Utility

The City of Madison Water Utility, founded in 1882 and led by General Manager Krishna Kumar, is responsible for providing safe and clean water to the residents of Madison, WI. With a focus on sustainability and water quality, the utility is involved in various projects, including the reconstruction of the Paterson Street Operations Center. This critical facility serves as a home base for the utility's dispatch center and emergency repair crews, ensuring quick response to main breaks and other water-related issues in the city.

The Paterson Street Operations Center Reconstruction project, consisting of two phases, aims to modernize and expand the outdated facility. Phase 1, which is largely complete, involved rebuilding the Operations Center, while Phase 2 will focus on the nearby Vehicle Storage Building. With an estimated total projected cost of $15.2 million, the project design incorporates public feedback, including the addition of landscaping, a bike rack, and plans for solar panels and rainwater collection. The utility actively encourages community involvement and provides opportunities for feedback and input throughout the project.
