We are the Lakes Area Clean Waters Council

Our Mission:
"To promote stormwater Best Management Practices
through research and education"

Our Goal:
To encourage the installation of rain gardens, rain barrels and shoreland buffers, as means of controlling stormwater runoff.

No matter where you live, what you do can affect the quality of the lakes, wetlands, and ground water!

Storm water is an asset!
Mother Nature intended it for your yard.

Our goal is to award residents with signs and space on this website to showcase their rain gardens, rain barrels, and shoreland buffers.
