New project aims to take Lily Lake off the Impaired Waters List

Over the past twenty years, City of Stillwater, the MSCWMO, community volunteers, and local government partners have implemented dozens of lake-improvement projects to benefit Lily Lake. Projects have included stabilizing eroding gullies, redesigning the city-owned boat launch with porous pavers and native plants along the shoreline, installing raingardens in surrounding neighborhoods, retrofitting parking lots and stormwater ponds in commercial areas, and engaging community residents to adopt storm drains through the Adopt-a-Drain program.
