Middleton showcases progress in stormwater management after utility fee increase

The City of Middleton Water Resource Management Commission convened on May 21, 2025, to discuss ongoing efforts and progress in water resource management. The meeting highlighted the city's achievements in managing stormwater effectively, particularly following a significant increase in stormwater utility fees approved by Middleton Reserves last year.

During the discussions, members noted that the data indicates a successful track record in stormwater management. This prompted a conversation about the importance of communicating these successes to stakeholders, particularly those involved in the decision to raise utility fees. The commission emphasized the need to inform the community about the positive outcomes resulting from the increased funding, which aims to enhance the city's stormwater infrastructure and overall water resource management.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the necessity of transparency and communication regarding the progress made in stormwater management. The commission plans to develop a strategy to share these achievements with the public and relevant stakeholders, ensuring that the community is aware of the benefits derived from their investment in stormwater management initiatives.
