For Our Waters
Our health and livelihoods depend on water. We must protect it for future generations.
SPU invests in infrastructure to protect our waters from sewer overflows and stormwater pollution:
- Sewer System Maintenance
- Reducing Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO)
- Green Stormwater Infrastructure
- Sewer and Drainage projects
We partner with Seattle Department of Transportation on street sweeping to reduce stormwater pollution.
SPU also works directly with the community on pollution reduction. Through our community and volunteer programs, we work to reduce stormwater pollution from residents and businesses, encourage proper disposal of fats, oils & grease, and proper flushing, help customers with side sewer maintenance and promote storm drain care.
