Tired of that looking at the trash and the weeds in that
stormwater pond out your window?
If so now you can do something about it and help the river and
community in the process! This program is a means by which interested residents, community
groups, and businesses can "adopt" storm water management areas within
the City of River Falls to provide inspection, oversight, and minor
maintenance such as trash and debris removal in these areas on a
regularly scheduled basis. Adopters may also request City money
for plantings within the pond area to beautify the pond. For more information please
use the links to the right.
If you have any questions regarding this program please contact
