The Local Surface Water Management Plan for the City of Shorewood is a comprehensive ten-year roadmap covering 2018-2027. It is designed to meet watershed management planning requirements and provides a detailed inventory of water resources. The plan outlines goals and policies focused on minimizing public expenditures for water problems, protecting and improving surface and groundwater quality, preventing erosion, promoting groundwater recharge, and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat and recreational facilities. Its implementation program addresses problems and issues through agency cooperation, public education, regulatory mechanisms, and internal operational strategies.

It also outlines potential City involvement in land acquisition and economic development to achieve these objectives.
