Landgraf Construction dumps concrete wastewater to lake

Discharging concrete wastewater in the gutter is illegal.  The water is highly alkaline, and can cause a fish kill

Discharging such waste to the stormsewers is illegal in Madison.  The Department of Health writes up violations and passes them to the City Attorney for prosecution.


Landgraf Construction is mixing concrete products on-site at Mendota Court, just a block from Lake Mendota.



White stains show concrete wastewater flowed down the gutter to stormsewer inlets, a stone's throw from the Lake.








In addition, the stormsewer inlet filters are clogged.

Filth from this construction site, and from other dirty streets in the area, is making a mess of the Lake.
