Drainage & Sewer Plans

Drainage and wastewater systems shape Seattle in essential, invisible ways. Everyone in Seattle relies on a vast drainage and wastewater system. Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) builds and manages the drainage and wastewater systems that affect how water flows in, out, and around our city. Learn more about the sewer and drainage systems at work in your neighborhood in our interactive StoryMap, the Power of Water.

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) develops drainage and wastewater plans about current and future management and operations, to meet regulation, and to prepare our drainage and wastewater systems for future challenges like growth and climate change.
