Get Involved with Our New Watershed Management Plan!

If your streets have flooded or your basement has been wet and you are concerned about polluted rivers and streams, you have a vested interest in local watershed management. Today, more than ever, we need to care and plan for our surface and groundwater to promote a healthy environment and an improved quality of life for all of our citizens.

The MWMO is currently writing a Watershed Management Plan that will guide the organization's activities from 2010 to 2020. We need your help to identify water-related issues in your community. Please go to our web-based, "Issue Identification Tool," to identify water-related issues in your own backyard and neighborhood; click on the tool below:
