Water is an important part of every living thing on a daily basis.  We need water to survive!  This makes water quality a very important part of what the Chisago SWCD does.  In working with the Chisago County Water Planner, the MN Pollution Control Agency, and many local volunteers we are getting a good picture of the health of the water bodies in Chisago County.  Follow the above links to learn more about what can and is being done in our county.  If you have any water quality questions, please contact Mary Jo Youngbauer at 651/674-2333 or by e-mail at mary.youngbauer@mn.nacdnet.net
