Welcome to the Elm Creek Watershed!

The Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission is the regional governmental unit responsible for protecting the water resources of the Elm Creek watershed in northwestern Hennepin County, Minnesota. 

The Commission is governed by a seven-member board of representatives (Commissioners) from the member communities:  Champlin, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Medina, Plymouth, and Rogers. 
What's New.....
Fourth Generation Plan. We're updating our Watershed Management Plan. The Commission held a public hearing on the draft plan at its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.  A final draft of the Plan reflecting all comments to date has been submitted to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) for final approval. The final draft plan is posted on the Management Plan page.

We are a member of the collaborative West Metro Water Alliance, working to educate residents, businesses, and institutions within our watersheds about protecting and improving the water quality of our lakes, rivers and streams.
