Colby Lake Raingarden Ice Cream Social & Celebration

Colby Lake Rain Gardens Celebration & Ice Cream
Social

Neighborhood raingardens will be a critical component of the
effort to clean up Colby Lake. A raingarden is simply a shallow depression that
collects runoff from a house or street and soaks it into the ground before it
can wash dirt and pollutants into storm sewers that connect to lakes and
rivers.  The Colby Lake neighborhood
raingarden project is an initiative led by the SWWD in partnership with the WCD
and the City of Woodbury to provide education, design assistance, and project
oversight to help homeowners around Colby Lake install raingardens in priority
locations.  Funding for the raingardens
will be divided between State Clean Water Funds (from the Clean Water, Land and
Legacy Amendment) and SWWD.
