The City of Whitewater – Department of Public Works would like to
announce an event sponsored by Protect Wisconsin Waterways. This event will be held at Cravath Lakefront
Park (341 S. Fremont St.) on Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Protect Wisconsin
Waterways wants you to learn the impact of stormwater on our waterways.

Residents of Whitewater (a member of the Rock River Stormwater Group) are encouraged to take an active
role to help better their community by joining the annual clean-up of the Rock River and its tributaries. This
event is part of the Protect Wisconsin Waterways campaign to spread awareness of what individuals can do to
help protect their local lakes and rivers.

Protect Wisconsin Waterways has run this event since 2016, and each year the total effort can remove over
fifty bags of trash and litter from and around our lakes and rivers. Objects as small as cans, bottles, and
wrappers, as well as large tires, traffic cones, and PVC pipes, have been removed from our local waterways.
Our waterways are home not only to a bounty of wildlife, but are also the place where we fish, boat, kayak, and
swim.

Discover how you can help protect Wisconsin’s waterway around us and make it an even more enjoyable place
for everyone. More information can be found at https://protectwiwaterways.org/2022cleanup/. Please help us
keep our local waterways clean! Also, like us on Facebook at Protect Wisconsin Waterways.
