The Albert Lea City Council finally approved a motion Monday supporting a watershed management plan. The $1.94 million project, which has been in the works since 2018, breaks up the Shell Rock and Winnebago river watersheds into four areas – a Fountain Lake tributary; Albert Lea Lake tributary; the area south of the watershed, including Upper and Lower Twin Lakes and the Glenville area; and the Winnebago watershed, the project manager for the Shell Rock River Watershed District said. The Board of Water and Soil Resources has 90 days to approve the plan. It will then come back to all of the entities involved for final approval.
