The Spring Hill Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) is a planning and management process that engages stakeholders in a process to:

Identify watershed restoration and protection needs
Establish watershed management goals
Create a cost effective Master Plan to achieve goals
Implement recommendations from the Master Plan

As Spring Hill continues to experience rapid urban growth, the City has identified the need to develop and implement a plan that addresses the impacts of this growth on its water resources, namely Hillsdale Lake (the City’s sole drinking water source), the City Lake and Sweetwater Creek.  Urbanization increases stormwater runoff and pollutant loads that jeopardize downstream property, stream health, water quality and habitat.  The City of Spring Hill has hired Olsson Associates to develop the Master Plan that will outline specific efforts to protect water quality in streams and reservoirs, control flooding, and protect and restore natural resources.  This Plan is developed through continuous coordination with the residents of Spring Hill and local agencies.  Please click here to view the Major components of the Master Plan.
