Macatawa Watershed & Stormwater Projects
The City of Zeeland has become involved in the watershed and storm water projects taking place in the
Lake Macatawa Watershed Area. Phosphorus has been identified as one of the pollutants causing problems in Lake Macatawa. The City of Zeeland has a
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit which requires the City to monitor the storm water being discharged from the City into the surrounding streams and ditches. The Zeeland Clean Water Plant has been involved with testing the streams and ditches around and in the City of Zeeland. For more information on this area wide project go to the Macatawa Area Coordinating Councils website on watershed projects.
