Long Creek does not meet required state water quality standards.  As a result, the municipalities within the Long Creek Watershed (South Portland, Westbrook, Portland, and Scarborough) must take steps to restore the Creek's water quality, which may require watershed landowners to implement fixes on their properties. 

The City of South Portland has received a federal grant to partner with watershed municipalities and stakeholders to develop a locally supported plan for the Long Creek Watershed area.  The plan will outline a strategy to help restore the Creek's water quality so that it meets quality standards set under state and federal law.
