The City of Middleton 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.

In compliance with the provisions of Chapter 283, Wisconsin Statutes, and Chapters
NR 151 and 216, Wisconsin Administrative Code, municipalities in Wisconsin must
apply for a storm water permit in order to discharge storm water through a separate
storm sewer system to waters of the State. The permit carries a requirement that
municipalities submit to WisDNR an annual report of activities aimed at compliance
with the requirements of the permit.
