The Clean Water Council was created through the 
Clean Water Legacy Act (Minn. Stat. Ch 114D) which was signed into law June 2, 2006. The Council’s role is to advise the Legislature and the Governor on the administration and implementation of the Clean Water Legacy Act.
The Clean Water Council’s Biennial Report includes budget recommendations for the Legislature and the Governor on how FY 20-21 Clean Water Fund dollars should be appropriated, policies for clean water, and progress on Clean Water Fund activities. The Council’s FY 20-21 Clean Water Fund recommendations, totaling $262.704 million, reflect the priority of providing resources to on-the-ground actions that improve and protect Minnesota’s water.
