Crooked Creek Group Seeks Federal Funds for Watershed District
Crooked Creek Watershed Steering Committee met with Houston County Commissioners to seek creation of a watershed district for the Crooked Creek Watershed. If approved for federal assistance under Public Law 566, funds would help build flood retarding structures while locals provide land rights and maintenance. The move aims to coordinate water problems among all watershed farmers and empower local authority to start projects. Farmers Wilfred Pohlman Arnold Goetzinger and Clarence Eikens spoke for the group and noted farmer support and planned land treatment measures. The commissioners will petition the Minnesota Water Resources Board to form the authorized district.
