We have scheduled 6 working group meetings in March and April, for each of the Water Star topic areas.

Topic: Time: Location:
  • Groundwater -- March 24, 2:30-4:30 -- UW Pyle Center, Madison
  • Habitat & wildlife -- March 26, 2:00-4:00 -- Dane Co. Land Conservation, Madison
  • Land use -- April 2, 2:30-4:30 -- UW Pyle Center, Madison

  • All topics -- April 17, 6:30-8:30 -- Dane Co. Land Conservation, Madison.

These groups will help us develop lists of community activities to include in the Water Star program. It is critical for the Water Star program to be valuable to municipalities, so we will also discuss program design, expectations, incentives, and criteria for evaluating performance.
