Stormwater Enhanced Maintenance Plan

Ensuring the health and vitality of Lake Stevens’ waterways is essential to preserving the natural beauty and environmental well-being of our community for future generations. By reducing sediment and total suspended solids (TSS) before they enter local streams, lakes, and wetlands, this initiative will make measurable improvements to water quality across the city. Through targeted maintenance strategies and long-term system planning, we aim to modernize the city’s stormwater infrastructure and provide sustainable solutions to meet evolving regulatory standards and protect the region's aquatic ecosystems.

Your voice matters as we develop an Enhanced Maintenance Plan (EMP) to guide proactive care of Lake Stevens' stormwater system. The project covers comprehensive activities such as inspecting and cleaning stormwater pipes, documenting unknown components of the system, and establishing a framework for prioritizing repairs and upkeep. By engaging with residents like you, we’re able to ensure that local perspectives and priorities are incorporated into decisions that will shape the management and resilience of stormwater infrastructure across Lake Stevens.
