Collaborative Monitoring Program

The Keep it Clean Partnership collaborative monitoring program was started in 2014 to collect water quality data throughout the Boulder St. Vrain watershed. Compiling data from all of our municipal partners allows us to look at watershed health more holistically and evaluate trends over time and location, with some data going back over 20 years.

  • 6 participating local governments
  • Over 40 monitoring sites
  • Over 17 water quality parameters
  • Monthly monitoring at all sites
  • Data analyzed every year for major trends

Reports

We analyze data from our collaborative monitoring program every year for major trends and takeaways. However, we have recently switched to a rotating schedule for developing our water quality reports. Our next full report will be released in 2023 and will include data through the end of 2022. In the meantime we are keeping a close eye on local water quality issues and working on some new ways to communicate our data.
