Mark your calendars and register for the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed Council’s 5th annual Watershed Issues Forum on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, from 3:30 to 6:00pm. This event is FREE and being held virtually via Zoom. The forum will feature eight guest speakers on topics related to groundwater within the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed. Waterbodies (streams, lakes, and wetlands) in our watershed have significant interactions with groundwater, which is important because these waterbodies are not glacier-fed like other rivers in Pierce County. Guest speakers are from the University of Washington, United States Geological Survey (USGS), Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Lakewood Water District, Pierce County, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.

The mission of the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed Council is to promote the protection and enhancement of the Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed. If you live in Tacoma, Lakewood, Fircrest, University Place, Steilacoom, DuPont, Ruston, or portions of unincorporated Pierce County, you live and recreate within this watershed. Any interested citizens (even if you do not live within the watershed) are welcome to attend our meetings! The Council meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 3:30 to 5:30pm. You can find more information and register for our email distribution list at http://www.piercecountywa.gov/ccwc.
This is an important session to learn about the status of our ground water. We depend on this water for drinking and sewage disposal
Clover Creek may stop flowing because we are consuming too much water.
