About the Rice Creek Watershed

Thank you for taking action!

On February 13, 2008, the Rice Creek Watershed District Board approved revised watershed rules that will play an enormous role protecting the lakes and streams of the watershed from pollution. Thanks to everyone who encouraged the Board to take this important step.

You can read more about the new Rice Creek Watershed Rules at our Rice Creek Rules pages.
