Preventing contaminated water from draining into the West Indian Creek in Wabasha, Lake City, and Plainview, MN is crucial for keeping our communities healthy. That's why Wabasha Soil & Water Conservation District is helping the local government access Section 319 funds. These funds are provided by the MPCA, and they can be used to address nonpoint-source water pollution. Using a nine-point plan for conservation management, Section 319 helps reduce pollution in our water supply.
