Madison Residents: If you have branches that fell in last night's storm and need them picked up, we ask that you set them out by the boulevard. Our Public Work's Crew will be picking them up tomorrow!

🦟 Trivia Time Answer! 🦟

Thanks to everyone who gave it their best "jab" on our question: "How much does it cost each time the City sprays for mosquitoes?" Your answers ranged from $400 all the way up to $12,000 per spray!

The actual cost is approximately $1,950 each time the City sprays.

A few other interesting facts:

🚚 To effectively spray, the truck can only travel about 10 mph, and it takes approximately 4 hours to cover the entire community.

🦟 The product is comprised of microscopic droplets that float through the air for a short time and come into contact with flying mosquitoes. It does not target mosquito larvae.

💧 Want to help reduce mosquitoes around your home? Eliminate standing water whenever possible—that's where mosquitoes lay their eggs.

Thanks for playing along! Be on the lookout for our next Trivia Time question!

Meet Madison's newest clean-up crew member! 🧹✨

Our new street sweeper will be out and about this week helping freshen up city streets!

If you spot this shiny new machine rolling through your neighborhood park your cars off the street (even for a short while) so they can get close to the curb. A little sweeping goes a long way toward keeping our community looking clean and well cared for.

Keep an eye out—you might just spot the hardest-working new vehicle in town!

Trivia Time Answer!

How many hours does it take to fill the Madison Swimming Pool?

If the pool were filled using only the fire hydrants, it would take approximately 23 hours.

For comparison, using only a standard water hose would take about 122 hours (more than 5 days!).

In reality, the City uses a combination of hydrants during the day and hoses in the evenings, so the actual fill time falls somewhere in between.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a guess! Was your answer close?

Stay tuned for the next Trivia Time question!

🏊‍♂️ Coming to the pool? We’ve got a quick “where do I park?” update!

Our parking lot is currently taking a little makeover break while work is being done on the basketball and tennis and pickleball courts. 🚧

Good news: You can still make a splash—just park along the east or west sides of Evergreen Avenue! 🚗

Thanks for your patience while we make these upgrades—we promise it’ll be worth it! ☀️
