The Water House Project is Coming to Lake Edge

By Amy Barrilleaux, Madison Water Utility

Madison Water Utility is looking for neighborhood input as it embarks on a unique educational campaign aimed at showcasing the latest in home water efficiency and innovation. The Water House Project will be a demonstration home on display to the public that features water and energy efficient fixtures, building systems and landscaping.
 
Location:
 
The water utility currently owns a large lot at 4724 Spaanem Ave., which is the site of a municipal well facility and 3-million gallon reservoir. Part of the property will be subdivided into three residential lots, and the utility will be responsible for all improvements necessary for their development. The demonstration home and two remaining residential lots will ultimately be sold to recover costs after a period of public education. Madison Water Utility hopes to begin construction of the home in the spring or summer of 2018.
 
Input from LENA
 
The Water House Project will be designed and built with neighbors, students, educators and the Madison community in mind, so public input is critical.
