Watershed Awareness Project
What do people driving, bicycling or walking the following routes have in common?
- Northbound or southbound on Elm Ridge Road in the Town of Darien
- Westbound on Wisconsin Street at the County Courthouse grounds in the City of Elkhorn
- Westbound on Highway 67 at the edge on the George Williams golf course in the Village of Williams Bay
They are all entering the - the 26,000 acres that drain into Delavan Lake!
As a Delavan Lake Watershed Awareness project, the DLIA is spearheading a drive to raise the monies to install 25 along major roads around the watershed to help residents and visitors recognize that they are entering the Delavan Lake watershed.
Designed by Thomas Connelly of Central Printing in Delavan, these colorful signs will raise the consciousness of residents and visitors about the special nature of this remarkable natural resource. Our goal is for people to become aware that what they do in their everyday lives within the watershed will impact Delavan Lake - such as controlling agricultural runoff, not using phosphorus based lawn and garden fertilizers, or reducing impervious surfaces at their homes and businesses and adding porous stone, native grasses and/or wildflowers.
Please join this effort by contributing to help support the DLIA's Delavan Lake Watershed Awareness project by returning the provided here. All contributors will receive recognition in the DLIA newsletter, on the DLIA website (), and in the DLIA annual directory.
Contributors at the Guardian Level ($250+) will receive special recognition with a name plaque on a watershed sign.
Checks should be payable to DLIA / Watershed and should be sent to DLIA, PO Box 353, Delavan, Wisconsin 53115. For further information regarding the watershed sign project, please .
