Current & Past CleanStream Projects

We are devoted to improving the health of our local waterways. In addition to our efforts to educate each other on how we can stop sources pollution, we have been able to complete a number of projects that have improved the health of our stream. Most of these projects happened thanks to generous donations, grant funding, and help from volunteers.

We also have a few projects currently underway! If you wish to get involved in or wish to start a new project and want a partner, please contact the Public Works Department at Stormwater@HarrisonburgVA.gov or 540-434-5928.
