Phase II Stormwater Program and the Grand River Watershed Plan
Representatives from the Grand River (Delta Township), Red Cedar River, and Looking Glass River Watersheds have been meeting for the purpose of responding to proposed actions designed to meet previously-determined goals and objectives for each of the watersheds. The following is a list of those goals:
- Educate the public about the importance of protecting and managing the watershed.
- Provide a sustainable and equitable funding mechanism.
- Encourage water quality-friendly development.
- Restore and enhance habitat for wildlife and aquatic animals.
- Protect and increase wetlands.
- Provide pollution prevention/good housekeeping practices for municipal operations.
- Encourage water quality friendly agricultural practices.
Everything humans pour on the ground or in the storm drain ends up in the lakes, rivers, and streams. We need your help to keep our watershed clean.
To report suspicious activity, or if you see someone dumping anything but clean water in the storm sewers, streets, rivers, or even on the ground, please contact Dennis Williams, Township Engineer at 517.323.8540.

Capital Area Groundwater Alliance
http://www.capitalgroundwater.org
The Capital Area Groundwater Alliance (CAGA) was created to protect and preserve our drinking water at its source. CAGA is a group of communities working together to maintain high standards of water quality and to educate residents and businesses about water protection.
Capital Area Groundwater Alliance represents residents and businesses of the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing, Bath, Delhi, Delta, Lansing and Meridian Townships, the Village of Webberville and Michigan State University. CAGA members voluntarily agree to meet high standards of water quality and are dedicated, through their wellhead protection programs, to protecting our drinking water over and above what is expected. CAGA is one of the largest alliances in the nation working to prevent groundwater contamination.
