Unfortunately ubuntu does not have a GUI option to configure the mouse scroll speed.
One way to do it is to:
install imwheel, by running:
sudo apt install imwheel
use the script from www.nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh:
Run it in terminal: bash <(curl -s http://www.nicknorton.net/mousewheel.sh)
or create it first
#!/bin/bash
# Version 0.1 Tuesday, 07 May 2013
# Comments and complaints http://www.nicknorton.net
# GUI for mouse wheel speed using imwheel in Gnome
# imwheel needs to be installed for this script to work
# sudo apt-get install imwheel
# Pretty much hard wired to only use a mouse with
# left, right and wheel in the middle.
# If you have a mouse with complications or special needs,
# use the command xev to find what your wheel does.
#
### see if imwheel config exists, if not create it ###
if [ ! -f ~/.imwheelrc ]
then
cat >~/.imwheelrc<<EOF

Note that
Pretty much hard wired to only use a mouse with left, right and wheel in the middle. If you have a mouse with complications or special needs, use the command xev to find what your wheel does.
