One of the most significant ways the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) partners with residents, business owners, and local governments to improve water quality is through a wide variety of grant programs. The programs offer financial and other assistance to develop good solutions that will improve water management and quality, while helping property owners enjoy their property to the fullest extent possible.

For example, grants are currently available for replacing failing septic systems, installing rain gardens or improving the shorelines of a nearby stream or lake.
