The Anoka County Water Resources Management Task Force is an information-sharing forum for local partners to address water-related goals and emerging issues, and to collaborate with the Public Health and Environmental Services Department on the Anoka County 5-year Water Resources Report. Partners include state and county agencies, watershed management organizations, municipalities, industries, citizen groups, and private citizens. The Task Force hosts speakers and presentations, updates each other on projects, and shares resources towards achieving mutual goals.
