Real Talk with Rick Podcast
"From Superior to the Senate" is the latest installment of the Real Talk with Rick podcast. State Sen. Steve Cwodzinski discusses moving from Superior, Wisconsin, to the Twin Cities, his picture-perfect marriage proposal and issues of interest since he was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2016.

Water Conservation
Our community used less water in the months of December and January than we have since 1996. These numbers reflect our current population of over 63,000 compared to the 1996 population of only 45,262 residents. More people and less water used proves that conversation works. To learn more about water conservation programs offered through the City, visit edenprairie.org/WaterRebates.
