Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement
The Winnebago Waterways is a program of the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. Base funding for the program comes from an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement between Calumet County, Fond du Lac, Waushara and Winnebago Counties. The agreement formalizes the counties commitment to work together to support and promote beautification, restoration, promotion and general upkeep of the waters that comprise the lakes of the Winnebago Waterways.
