Parkview Construction Updates
A popular sledding hill in Roseville is being transformed into a large clean water project to benefit Lake McCarrons. Capitol Region Watershed District 
(CRWD) and its partners are installing a system at Parkview Center School that will collect and filter polluted rainwater from nearby roads and parking lots. The system consists of 10-foot diameter underground pipes that can capture runoff from the 46 acres upstream of the project site. The polluted water is then treated by an underground filtration system. Water is cleaned as it moves through the filters, removing pollutants before it returns to the storm sewer and eventually Villa Park wetlands and Lake McCarrons.

Supported in part by Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources’ Targeted Watershed Program (TWP) funded by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.
