Working together for clean water in Whatcom County!
A partnership to reduce fecal bacterial pollution in Whatcom County's waterways
The Whatcom Clean Water Program formed in 2012 to coordinate the fecal bacteria pollution reduction work of local, state, tribal, and federal agency partners.
To reach clean water and safe shellfish harvest goals, program partners work together to:
Monitor water quality, analyze data, and communicate results.
Contact landowners to offer help to find and fix preventable fecal bacteria pollution sources.
Offer educational opportunities and work with residents to put in place and maintain water quality protection measures
Whatcom Clean Water Program partners work together to identify and correct preventable sources of fecal bacteria in Whatcom County. WCWP partnerships capitalize on the network of expertise and partner connections by assembling professionals who understand local watersheds and the interconnected nature of water quality problems.
Whatcom Clean Water Program uses fecal bacteria water quality monitoring data to identify priority areas for improvement programs and coordinate with program partners to identify and address potential bacteria sources.
All of us have a part to play keeping fecal bacterial pollution out of our community's waterways. WCWP partners offer a variety of resources, programs, and assistance to help community members take action. Find out what you can do to help improve water quality in Whatcom County's waterways.
