A unique initiative in Madison, Wisconsin, aims to show the public the kinds of water-saving technology that can be incorporated during the design phase of residential construction projects.
Killing two birds with one stone, Madison Water Utility is creating revenue by selling some of its vacant land, but it also struck a deal with the developer to feature a house that can showcase water conservation technology. Per the agreement, once the house is built, the utility will rent it for several months to offer public tours of the two- or three-bedroom single family home.
