Source Water Protection

Project Summary

 SWP Team Members Related Projects
 
     SUMRSWPP Cooperation With Local Units of Government
 
Implementation of the source water protection plans developed by St. Cloud, St. Paul, and Minneapolis will be carried out primarily at the local level. The identification of potential contaminants and their sources will provide the primary focus on plan implementation. The Project will work to support local government entities, including watershed groups, in selecting and implementing best management practices and other source water protection strategies. The Project will seek to recognize and support benefits to the drinking water supply achieved by local efforts.

Local Cooperation through this Project will focus on:

  • Establish working relationships with key local watershed organizations.
  • Understand those organizations' strategic plans and identify areas of alignment with the UMRSWPP goals and strategies.
  • Identify specific projects or aspects of projects that have direct correlation with the implementation strategies in the source water protection plan.
  • Identify and provide means to support those projects.
