Community Meeting 

Discuss flooding with Alderman Robert Burck

Mobirise

On August 20 2018 a severe rainstorm hit the Middleton area and caused significant flood damage to businesses, homes, streets, parks, trails, and our protected natural conservancies. In most cases the flood water receded as quickly as it arose allowing much of the community to recover from the immediate damage that occurred. 

Mobirise

Unfortunately Stricker and Tiedeman Pond system does not have a natural outlet for excess water to flow out of the ponds. The ponds currently rely on a valve to move water from Stricker to Tiedeman and a pump to move water from Tiedeman to Lake Mendota. Even after 8 months and the temporary use of an extra pump on Gammon Road last fall, the pump system still has not been able to return the ponds to normal levels. 

Mobirise

Native plantings, mature trees, nature paths, boardwalks, and open green space that residents previously enjoyed on a daily basis are either destroyed or unusable. At this time, it appears that Stricker and Tiedeman are not getting the proper attention required to recover from the flood and to prevent future flooding events. To ensure Stricker and Tiedeman get prioritized for city discussions and meetings, the community needs to express their concerns and support for the ponds to the City of Middleton.
