Water

Muscoda residents and businesses use over 150 million gallons of water each year. Water is vital to our community and we are fortunate in Muscoda to have a high-quality water supply. One of our priorities is protecting this natural resource.

There are two deep wells in Muscoda reaching down to the Niagara-Platteville-Trenten aquifers (in the limestone formation). Water pumped from those depths comes out nice and cold; about 52 degrees year ’round. The water is treated and tested regularly to ensure Muscoda residents and businesses continue to receive a safe and plentiful water supply.

Meter Reading & Billing

Similar to reading your electric meter, village and utility crew read your water meter to collect usage data. The readings are entered into our billing software to help produce your monthly billing statement.

In some cases or during certain times of year when we are not able to read your meter, we provide you with an estimated billing statement, based on your normal usage history for that time of year. Any difference between the amount actually used and the estimated amount billed is corrected automatically when the next regular meter reading is obtained. Ultimately, you pay only for the amount of water actually used.

Water Quality

The utility routinely monitors the village’s drinking water according to Federal and State regulations. Our goal is to provide a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We continually improve the water treatment process to protect our water resources and are committed to ensuring the high quality of your water.
