Sheboygan Waters

Community Links

WatershedDuring the last decade, governmental agencies including many in Sheboygan have been active in curbing the negative impacts of stormwater pollution. Stormwater pollution issues are being targeted and addressed by Federal and State statutes, and the provisions of county and community initiatives and ordinances.

As part of a national effort to address the negative impacts of polluted runoff on our streams, rivers, and lakes, Sheboygan County, has formed a Clean Water partnership with the Cities of Sheboygan and Sheboygan Falls, the Villages of Howards Grove and Kohler, and the Towns of Sheboygan and Wilson. 

 

The purpose of the Partnership is to:

  • Communicate between communities as they move forward with NR216 Phase I and Phase II compliance.
  • Ensure water quality is protected to the greatest extent possible through education and information.
  • Reduce outreach costs and duplication of activities among municipalities.
