Welcome to the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization
What’s New
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. For information about the 2025-2035 Plan Update, visit here.
The MSCWMO has worked with private and government landowners to install water quality improvement practices throughout the watershed. Check out our online map to see and learn about the many projects in Washington County and the Middle St. Croix Watershed.
Washington County – Septic System Ordinance Update
Washington County now has financial assistance available to help residents replace noncompliant septic systems. The Washington County SSTS Low Interest Loan Program utilizes state funds from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to offer loans ranging from 1.5%-3% to replace noncompliant septic systems. A small amount of grant funding may also be available to households within the cost share program income guidelines.
