Well 12 Reconstruction Project Background:

Madison Water Utility’s (MWU) Unit Well 12 (801 South Whitney Way) was established in 1958. It operates year-round and delivers water to Madison’s Near West neighborhoods including University Hill Farms, Sunset Village, Midvale Heights, Westmorland, Crawford-Marlborough-Nakoma, Orchard Ridge, Summit Woods, Meadowood, Allied Dunn’s Marsh, Arbor Hills and Leopold. In 2024, Well 12 pumped 550 million gallons compared to its 5-year average of 559 million gallons annually. The site consists of a well pump house and a detached 150,000 gallon above-ground water reservoir, both of which are nearing 70 years of life.

Reason for project:

Necessary to rebuild aging well facility; rebuild and appropriately resize water reservoir; upgrade and add pumps, piping, and facility equipment for facility resilience and enhanced dual-pressure zone pumping capabilities.
