The Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District manages and preserves the community’s water resources using community input, engineering practices and the ability to efficiently fund beneficial projects which transcend political jurisdictions. The district covers about 42 square miles in Scott County, including portions of the cities of Prior Lake, Shakopee and Savage, along with the townships of Sand Creek and Spring Lake.
