Critical to the Success of Sweet Water -- Our Partners
In every area of our work, success is founded on strong, effective partnerships. From project implementation, to technical expertise, to funding support from foundations and agencies, the work of improving water quality and restoring our rivers and Lake Michigan requires cooperation and collaboration.
We are fortunate for the expertise and commitment of many organizations, municipalities, agencies, utilities and foundations with whom we've forged productive relationships and advance the goals of the Clean Water Act -- "fishable, swimmable waters."
