Your input is needed! We have begun reimagining the McFarland Municipal Center once the Municipal Court, Police, and Fire Depts. leave for their new building. Please take this brief survey regarding what you want to see in a future community center and then share it with your friends and neighbors! The survey will remain open through June 29, 2022.

Did you know that we were recognized as a 2021 Climate Champion because of our new Public Safety Center? The McFarland Public Safety Center will be the first net-zero municipal building in Dane County! Thanks to Dane County Office of Energy & Climate Change for putting together this video to feature our new building. If interested, the June construction update is now available to view online.

The Village is currently undergoing a tree inventory conducted by Wachtel Tree Science Inc. throughout the end of June. This inventory will update all village-owned street and park trees, including new subdivisions and annexed areas. After the inventory is collected, it will be compiled in the Village's GIS system. It is partly funded by an awarded WI DNR Urban Forestry grant.

We're hiring! Our Department of Public Works and Police Department currently have vacancies and looking for candidates to fill these positions. Visit the Village's employment page to learn more about these great opportunities.

The Village of McFarland Water Utility provides safe, clean drinking water to a population of approximately 8,700 people.

One component of this mandated program is visual onsite surveys/inspections for potential hazards connected to the public drinking water system known as “Cross-Connections.” Learn more about this program and how it'll affect you in your home.
