Strickers/Mendota Watershed Study
Last Updated: 07/08/2019
Project Description
The City of Madison will complete a watershed study in the Strickers/Mendota watershed (as shown below). A local consulting engineer, Brown and Caldwell, will complete the study.
The Strickers/Mendota watershed drains to Lake Mendota.
Timeline
The studies are expected to take over 18 months. During this time, the city will look at watersheds as a whole to make sure solving a flooding problem upstream won’t push more water downstream and cause more flooding.
Public Information Meetings
The first public information meeting for this watershed was held on April 22.

Report Flooding
If anyone has experienced flooding, and is willing to share with the City, please report it on the City's website. Even if a homeowner reported flooding to 2-1-1, FEMA, or a City official, the City needs standardized information to create stormwater models that show existing flooding conditions. The flood data helps the City prioritize different flood projects and future watershed studies.
