Welcome to the City of Jefferson, Wisconsin
Jefferson, Wisconsin is a quaint Wisconsin community. Main Street shows off its vintage buildings and steepled churches built by German craftsmen. Two picturesque rivers flow through the middle of town. Our rivers will be a focal point for visitors and residents, so they can float up and catch a concert, meal and even camp along the riverbank. We know what we have is special, because people from big cities keep moving here. It’s also because we’re close by, comfortable, easygoing, hardworking, genuine and fun loving. If the great outdoors are important in your life, then Jefferson should be, too. Because, “We’re Going Outside”.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW
This notice is to inform the public that a sanitary sewer manhole overflow occurred on the morning of April 8th , 2025. This occurred along the railroad corridor between West Woolcock. It was caused by the sewer main being blocked by sanitary wipes that had collected and restricted flow. The overflow was approximately 500 gallons of sewage that was contained to a low lying area along the railroad corridor and one back yard. The overflow was cleaned up by City personnel. There should be very little to no concern for the public as this was not in a public area and all affected property owners were contacted.
