The City has established a formal collaboration with the Conservation and Soil Water Conservation District (CSWCD) through a recently approved Memorandum of Understanding.

This new service is being promoted at engagement sessions, internal City meetings, and to anyone who has called 311 to report what was eventually determined to be a private drainage issue.
