Welcome to the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District

Our mission is to manage and preserve the water resources of the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District to the best of our ability using input from our communities, sound engineering practices, and our ability to efficiently fund beneficial projects which transcend political jurisdictions.

In the summer of 2023, our PLSLWD interns produced a video that explains the history of the Watershed, how water runs through the Watershed, and what our staff does to maintain the Watershed’s health. Click here to view “Welcome to the Watershed”
