The Six Cities Watershed Management Organization is a joint powers special purpose unit of government. We set policies and goals to protect and improve water resources. We also do on-the-ground projects toward the same ends. We handle a variety of issues including lake and stream water quality, storm water management, lake level monitoring, education about environmentally sound practices, and others. The SCWMO Board is governed by a board including representatives from each of its member cities working collaboratively.
The jurisdictional area of the SCWMO is defined by watersheds. It includes portions of Coon Rapids, Columbia Heights, Fridley, Hilltop, Blaine, and Spring Lake Park. This watershed-based approach recognizes the fact that most water issues do not stop at municipal boundaries.
