"why the (Madison Water) utility continues to funnel nearly $8 million per year to the city’s general fund through what’s known as payments in lieu of taxes" - Madison residents will pay about $33.90 per month on average, nearly double the bill in 2015. (The utility’s debt has ballooned to nearly $245 million in recent years) more.

The urban forestry special charge on water bills

at least $49,190,000 in federal taxpayer and borrowed covid relief funds.
