RBWMO

The RBWMO is proud to partner with the West Metro Water Alliance (WMWA) to protect our water resources and provide public education. Check out the WMWA website for great resources for educators, volunteers, and residents!... Each winter thousands of tons of salt are applied to roadways in Minnesota to manage snow and ice, but this can have harmful effects on our water resources. It only takes 1 teaspoon of salt to pollute 5 gallons of water permanently, producing a salt concentration that can be toxic to freshwater ecosystems. The RBWMO is working to minimize the impact of road salt application on our water resources... The RBWMO's purpose is to preserve and use natural water storage and retention systems within the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed to meet the purposes set forth in the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act.
