Body

BACKGROUND

 

Following approval by the Water Utility Board on May 23, 2023, the Common Council adopted a resolution (attached) on June 20, 2023 which granted Madison Water Utility (MWU) the authority to enter into an agreement with Madison Gas & Electric Company (MGE) for the purchase of backup generation service at a well site to be “determined by MWU staff and presented to the Common Council” prior to final execution of the agreement.

 

MWU has accordingly entered into a draft agreement (attached) with MGE. Prior to final execution of this agreement, MWU staff is informing the Common Council of the selected well site for the agreement: Unit Well 11 at 102 Dempsey Road.

 

The site and generator location (attached) were approved by the Plan Commission at their July 24, 2023 meeting (File # 78198) as part of the Unit Well 11 property approval for conditional use.
