What’s New

2015 – 2025 MSCWMO Watershed Management Plan
The Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization’s 10 year watershed management plan expires in 2025. The plan sets the vision and guidelines for managing surface water resources within the boundaries of the MSCWMO.

The MSCWMO Board passed a resolution to update the MSCWMO Watershed Management Plan at the March 2023 Board Meeting. Staff are beginning the process for the 2025-2035 MSCWMO Watershed Management Plan.

Washington County – Septic System Ordinance Update

A small amount of grant funding may also be available to households within the cost share program income guidelines.
