Welcome to the Lake Madison Development Association web site.

We hope this site will provide information of interest to residents of Lake Madison, Lake Herman, Round Lake and Brant Lake as well as the surrounding community.

You can help clean up the lakes!

	If you live on the lakes or in the city of Madison, use no-phosphorus fertilizer on your lawn. Most lawns do not need additional phosphorus. The runoff of phosphorus provides nutrients for the blue-green algae bloom in the lakes.
	Do rake up leaves in the fall. Leaves decompose, add nutrients, and use up oxygen in the lakes.
	Use gravel driveways and brick patios rather than concrete so rain water can soak into the ground. This reduces runoff.
	Leave some natural vegetation along the shore and cut grass 2 1/2 - 3 inches to reduce runoff.
	Allow some aquatic plants to grow in the water on part of your shoreline. They add oxygen to the lake.
	Ashes add nutrients to the lake. If you light fires on the beach remove the ashes so they don't wash into the lake. Better yet, avoid fires on the beach.

Mission

	Improvement of water quality in the chain of lakes and the lakes watershed
	Safety on the water and roads around the lake
	Communication among lake residents and with the surrounding community

The navigation buttons on the left allow viewers to access the agendas and minutes of the Lake Association and learn more about what the Association is doing to improve water quality and safety. It also lists some events of that might be of interest to lake residents and has links to many other sites for information on water quality, government fishing and boating regulations, and so forth. Finally there is a link for children interested in learning more about the lake and water quality. Some of these links are still under construction. This site is for the benefit of lake residents so please contact us with your suggestions and ideas.
