The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission is involved in many projects to protect and improve the water quality in southwest Michigan.  However, for that to happen we need every resident, landowner, business owner, and local official to be involved!   Several municipalities have already joined forces to help.  Learn more by clicking on Southwest Michigan Water Partnership (Berrien and Cass NPDES-MS4 Group).
