Alder Nasra Wehelie will kick off the 2025 new year by hosting a virtual lunch and learn featuring Water Utility General Manager Krishna Kumar on Thursday, January 23, from 12 to 1 p.m. Kumar will discuss the Madison Customer Assistance Program (MadCAP) and other water quality programs implemented to ensure drinking water is accessible and safe for all Madison residents.

The City of Madison's Customer Assistance Program (MadCAP) was established to serve customers with low household incomes. Using an approach similar to that of many energy companies, MadCAP makes living in Madison more affordable by providing necessary relief to low-income residents.

Water utilities are essential for public health, environmental preservation and sustainability, economic development, and overall community well-being. Join us to learn more about the opportunities and challenges surrounding Madison's Water Utility.

Kumar joined the City of Madison as its Water Utility General Manager in June 2021. Kumar has previously served as general manager for the Marin Municipal Water Utility and the Valley of the Moon Water District in northern California.

There will be time for Q&A at the end of the session. Attendees can ask questions or express feedback verbally or in the chat box. They can also submit their questions in advance to Lorissa Banuelos, Community Engagement Strategist, by emailing [email protected]. Please include "January 23 Lunch and Learn question" in the subject line.
