Monroe County Stormwater Ordinance
Help protect Monroe County’s quality of life. Proper management of stormwater runoff can prevent flooding, reduce erosion and pollution of our streams and recharge our wells. But all too often, development happens without protective policies in place, and many of these problems result.
As Monroe County grows, the County Commissioners are considering a new ordinance that requires sustainable management of stormwater in the Brodhead Creek watershed. Such an ordinance emphasizes recharging water back into the ground using streamside buffers to capture stormwater and avoid the negative effects of runoff.
What You Can Do
Write the county Commissioners and ask them to take action to protect Monroe County’s water resources. Tell them:
- Monroe County’s water resources and quality of life need to be preserved as development in the region increases.
- You support adopting the stormwater ordinances that will protect water resources in the Brodhead Creek area.
- Stormwater should be infiltrated as much as possible to protect our families and our health.
