Stormwater Management Plan

In 2014, the City of Monona obtained a grant from the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to develop a Stormwater Management Plan. This high level planning document will be used to help guide decision makers in selecting the best stormwater management solutions to improve water quality and meet the goals of the City's MS4 permit.  View the plan.
