Richfield Bloomington Watershed Planning Survey

The Richfield Bloomington Watershed Management Organization (RBWMO) is a public organization tasked with protecting and managing local water resources (e.g., lakes, ponds, wetlands) within an approximately 7.5-square-mile area of Richfield and Bloomington.

The RBWMO is updating its Watershed Management Plan, which will guide RBWMO actions for the next 10 years. We are seeking your input as we begin this process. Please take our brief (5-minute survey) to help us to better understand your interests and concerns regarding local water resources. The RWMWD will use input collected from this survey to help identify priority concerns, goals, and actions to be included in its 10-year Plan.
