Plymouth is home to eight lakes, including Hennepin County's second largest lake - Medicine Lake. In fact, 20% of Plymouth is covered by water. Because of the prominence of lakes, streams and wetlands in Plymouth, protecting these resources is important.
The City of Plymouth has initiated many projects over the years to control flooding caused by storm water runoff. In addition, it has taken steps to protect and improve the water quality of our wetlands and lakes.
Public education also has been an important piece of the City's water quality efforts. Letting people know how they affect water quality is vital to ensuring that Plymouth's lakes and wetlands remain important recreation resources and healthy ecosystems.
