An interview with Public Health Madison & Dane County
Parks and lakes define Greater Madison, offering plenty of public beaches to enjoy the water’s edge. In fact, we have 22 public beaches and official swimming locations on the Yahara chain of lakes (and more throughout Dane County). Every summer, Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) monitors the majority of these beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Clean Lakes Alliance’s Watershed Programs Manager Caitlin McAleavey sat down with PHMDC’s Jennifer Lavender Braun and Ronesha Strozier to learn how they test the beaches and what determines if they are open or closed.
