A project to install two speed humps on Winnequah Road will begin on July 26. This project was funded by the City Council last year in order to increase pedestrian safety in the heavily trafficked area near popular Schluter Beach and the Monona Bait & Ice Cream Shop. The adjacent picture is a sample of what the humps will look like. One hump will be located at the intersection of Winnequah Road and Waterman Way; the other will be installed at the intersection of Winnequah and Midmoor Roads. Visit our Public Construction Projects page for more information on this project and other current projects.

Monona water customers who have had their meters upgraded to the new smart meter can set up an EyeOnWater account at https://helpeyeonwater.com/
You'll need your account number, which you can find on your water utility bill. Once in your account, you'll be able to track your water usage by hour, day, week, month, and year. And once you've established your average usage, you can set an alert to notify you when your usage is higher than normal, which could signal that you have a leak somewhere in your plumbing system. If you're having difficulty setting up your EyeOnWater account, contact us at City Hall, (608) 222-2525. We're glad to help.

Most speed limits within city limits are 25mph unless otherwise posted. Monona Police Chief Chaney Austin has been hitting the road with officers in an effort to encourage motorists to slow down on city roads. Although WI DOT grant work focuses on our most travelled thoroughfares, attention has been given to residential roads within our city limits. Two mobile speed board signs have been deployed as highly visible reminders to slow down. The members of the Monona Police Department are monitoring driving behavior on our roads in an effort to keep everyone safe. Chief Chaney Austin and the members of the Monona Police Department ask for you to do your part. Everyone plays a role in community safety!
