We Want to Hear from You about Stormwater, Streams, and More

Eleven billion gallons of rain fall on Redmond each year. The City’s stormwater system collects rainwater runoff and sends it to stormwater ponds and underground vaults, which hold and slowly release water into our lake, river, and streams. This system prevents flooding and helps protect our water from pollution. As we plan for the future of the stormwater and surface water system, we’d like your feedback.
