Community Rivers Program (CRP)Coming Together For Clean WaterWe all benefit from having clean and healthy rivers. That's why we're coming together as a community to plan, design, and build projects that will keep our stretch of the Milwaukee River beautiful and livable for generations to come.

Saukville Storm Drain Stenciling - October 13th - 3 to 5 p.m.Green Bay Ave. & N. Mill Street to near W. Heilmann Drive & S. Main Street Watch out for some strange activity on Green Bay Ave. and North Mill Street! It may look like people vandalizing the streets, but don't worry it is happening for a good cause! The Community Rivers Program is stenciling storm drains on October 13th from 3 to 5 p.m. The stencils say "Dump No Waste, Drains to River" and are to help bring awareness to the negative impacts grass and fallen leaves can cause to our waterways when they enter our storm drains. Grass, debris, and leaves naturally have high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. When these organic materials break down in our waters, they deplete the oxygen available for our underwater creatures and plants. One way to help prevent this from happening is to keep your storm drains clean! If this activity is happening in front of your house or you are interested in helping, please contact Patricia at pgerber@riveredge.us. Please bring a mask. All the supplies will be provided.
Free Yard or Land Assessment The CRP offers FREE 1 hour land consultations of any size residential property in any CRP participating communities. If you are interested please contact: Matt Smith | Land Manager | msmith@riveredge.us | (262) 375-2715 ext. 147
