WPC Meeting Calendar
Watershed Planning Council (WPC) meetings are held quarterly for each watershed and provide an opportunity to learn about and discuss:
- MWRD projects in your watershed,
- revisions to the Watershed Management Ordinance,
- maintenance work by the Small Streams Maintenance Program, and
- local stormwater issues and other updates from other government agencies.
Municipal and township leadership, public works staff, along with the general public, are invited to help the MWRD reduce flooding and stormwater runoff by attending their WPC meeting.
