We have many ongoing programs to help with flooding, erosion and water pollution. We also complete a variety of construction projects such as stormwater ponds, storm drain systems and stream bank restorations. To guide us in spending limited funds, we continue to assess the conditions in our watersheds and use the results to rate the severity of problems and prioritize projects.

We are mostly funded by the drainage fee on your utility bill. Some projects also receive bond or grant funding.
