The City of Edina is working on a plan called the Clean Water Strategy to address the existing challenges faced by its lakes and creeks. Right now, the waters in Edina are not healthy, so it’s important to come up with a new plan that takes into account the latest scientific knowledge about urban streams and shallow urban lakes. The goal is to meet the expectations of the community by making sure the water is safe, accessible, and well-managed.
The Clean Water Strategy will establish the vision and goals for clean water, setting the priority and policy direction that will guide the city in achieving clean water outcomes. By defining these goals and priorities, the City will be able to align its services more closely with what the community values.
We’re seeking input on the clean water vision (community values and goals), priority pollutants, and priority waterbodies.
