Clean Water Blog

Hi I’m Shane — I work with many water-related issues every day including drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater management.  I am one of the Central Minnesota Water Education Alliance (CMWEA) members who will be sharing information here on a regular basis. 

We hope to use this blog as a tool to keep you informed of any educational opportunities near St. Cloud, Minnesota, so if you are planning an event or would like to attend an event to learn more about water, please let us know.

We also intend to use this blog to give you some useful tips on how you can help protect our water resources.  Please stop by frequently to learn more about simple things you can do, and send us plenty of questions or tips of your own.

I’m Sue — I work at the Stearns County Environmental Services Department.  Most of what my department does involves enforcement of regulations – rules about things like feedlots, septic systems, disposal of trash, planning and zoning. Working on CMWEA stuff is a nice change of pace for me – there’s lots of enthusiasm for doing good by the environment. We’re really proud of the videos that students submitted in 2007 and 2008 for the CMWEA ad contest — really creative and really smart!   And fun to watch! http://mnwaterconnection.com/contest.html
