Working Together
Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District
Presented by Eric Dundee, Executive Director
• Established in 1930
• Regional wastewater utility for 24
customer communities in Dane County
• Our purpose: Protect public health,
welfare and the environment by
providing efficient and strategic
wastewater management on behalf of
our customer communities.
• Serves 440,000 individuals and
businesses across 190 square miles
• Operate 151 miles of pipe
• Collects 38 million gallons daily (on
average)
About the District
How the system
works
1. Wastewater leaves buildings via
laterals (responsibility of
home/building owner)
2. Then travels through individual
communities via municipal sewer
pipes (community responsibility)
3. Community wastewater aggregates
in larger regional pipes and travels
to the Nine Springs treatment plant
(District responsibility)
4. Cleaned & returned to the
environment (District)
About wastewater: Influent
• Influent: Wastewater coming into the
plant
• Influent includes all sources of water
in a home/business (i.e., showers,
washing machines, etc.), not just
toilets
• Influent is over 99% plain ol’ water
About wastewater: Effluent
• Effluent: Cleaned wastewater
returned to the environment
• Effluent is high quality and tested
daily by our in-house lab
– Our lab was recently named WDNR’s
Lab of the Year!
• Also recover valuable resources from
effluent and treatment process,
including biosolids, struvite, biogas
and waste heat
We will achieve operational
excellence and infrastructure
renewal to support the needs of
the communities and local
businesses we serve.
District Vision
Why this project is important
Critical equipment used to treat liquid waste and support the biological
processes at the treatment plant is outdated and vulnerable to failure.
This project is necessary for the continued reliable operation of the plant,
ensuring we can meet the needs of growing area communities and
businesses, and maintain permit compliance.
Liquid
Processing
Improvements
(LPI) Phase 2
Additional facts
• The region is growing, and additional capacity must be built in advance.
• This project addresses declining annual Wisconsin DNR Compliance
Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) scores.
• This project will provide capacity and operational flexibility while also bringing
energy efficiency benefits.
• As of March 2026, this project is in the final stages of design, with plans to bid
it out in Summer 2026
Why this project is important
The District’s energy-producing biogas and thermal systems are outdated
and require increased maintenance. The District recently completed a
facilities plan to evaluate this infrastructure and provide alternatives for
the use of District biogas for the next 20 years. Our preferred option is to
create and sell pipeline-ready biogas.
Additional facts
• The District’s treatment plant recovers approximately 295 million cubic feet of
biogas per year.
• Biogas and heat from District processes help power assets, which offset
purchasing energy from the grid.
• This project also seeks to improve energy generation to reduce expenses.
• Will likely combine this project with biosolids improvements.

Why this project is important
The Nine Springs Valley Interceptor serves Fitchburg, City of Verona,
Town of Verona, and portions of the City of Madison and City of
Middleton. The District’s service area, including the Nine Springs Valley
basin, comprises some of the fastest-growing lands in the County and the
State. The high rate of population growth creates a need for capacity
improvements.
Additional facts
• Project is capacity-related, but also presents an opportunity to establish
better maintenance access.
• District is working through alignment and easements with Dane County and
private landowners.
• Construction schedule TBD, but will likely extend into 2029.
• Construction impacts to McCoy Rd/MM intersection, with potential,
temporary impacts to the Capital City trail.
• Check website for updates.

Interceptor-
Phase 1
Why this project is important
The Nine Springs Valley Interceptor serves Fitchburg, City of Verona,
Town of Verona, and portions of the City of Madison and City of
Middleton. The District’s service area, including the Nine Springs Valley
basin, comprises some of the fastest-growing lands in the County and the
State. The high rate of population growth creates a need for capacity
improvements.
Additional facts
• Capacity and condition-related; completed an emergency repair here in 2024.
• Project replaces an existing 48” pipe with a 54”-60” pipe.
• Design is at ~90%; will bid later this summer.
• Will start construction before Phase 1.
• Construction schedule is TBD, with most construction anticipated in 2027.
• Coordinating with Fitchburg’s Fitchrona Road construction.
• Alignment mostly between HWY 18/151 & Military Ridge trail; construction
impacts to the trail access ramp at Fitchrona.

Re: Additional Services for Military Ridge State Trail Pedestrian Structures
Dear Mr. Manning,
MSA proposes to modify the scope of work for the replacement of the Military Ridge State Trail pedestrian
structures as follows:
1. The addition of sanitary sewer replacement design and plan details at structure NR-13-033 to
increase the pipe material strength prior to placement of additional trail fill material at the new box
culvert location.
2. The addition of stormwater improvements at structure NR-13-033 to remove the existing concrete
channel and install riprap between Military Ridge State Trail and Lincoln Street.
3. Additional geotechnical services as needed to collect adequate information for the structure
foundation designs. Based on a review of available geologic information near the structures, the
original contract assumed the following boring numbers and depths:
Structure NR-13-032: Two (2) borings to 20 feet, plus one 10-foot rock core
Structure NR-13-033: One (1) boring to 30 feet, plus one 10-foot rock core
Structure NR-13-034: Two (2) borings to 70 feet, with no rock cores
Upon drilling to the contract depths, the geotechnical subconsultant, SES, noted that bedrock was
not encountered as anticipated, and the skin friction and end bearing capacities were not
adequate for deep bridge foundations at the assumed depths. The final boring depths are as
follows
Structure NR-13-032: One (1) boring to 83.6 feet and one (1) boring to 50.0 feet, with no rock
cores
Structure NR-13-033: One (1) boring to 100.2 feet, with no rock cores
Structure NR-13-034: One (1) boring to 63.8 feet and one (1) boring to 50.0 feet, with no rock
cores
4. The addition of construction-phase services, including review of shop drawing submittals for the
steel truss superstructures and precast concrete box culvert.

● Distance – A proposed RRFB should be at least a quarter (0.25) of a mile from a
signalized intersection or another RRFB.
TECHNICAL EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Verify the location of the requested RRFB to determine if it meets the above criteria.
If yes, a RRFB may be considered.
2. Verify that the existing pedestrian crossing is marked with update pavement paint
and signed as a crosswalk on both sides of the approaches. If any of these do not
exist, these should be updated or installed before considering an RRFB.
3. Verify the following for the request:
a. Speed limit of the road – RRFBS are generally not be installed on roadways
with a posted speed limit of 40 mph or greater.
b. Road type – Must be designated as a collector or an arterial to be considered

sign per Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
4. Use RRFBs for crosswalks across approaches controlled by YIELD signs, STOP
signs, traffic control signals, or pedestrian hybrid beacons, except for the approach
or egress from a roundabout per FHWA.
RRFBs are prioritized based on documented safety needs and policy criteria to avoid over-
use of the RRRBs reducing the overall effectiveness.
