The stormwater system in Bellevue is a combination of streams, lakes, wetlands, pipes, catch basins and flood control sites – private and public systems that eventually drain into either Lake Washington or Lake Sammamish. Bellevue Utilities:
- Provides flood control;
- Protects water quality;
- Provides the safe conveyance of stormwater to streams, lakes and wetlands;
- Protects natural habitat; and
- Provides education to protect the environment.
Managing stormwater effectively involves cooperative efforts from both the private and public sectors. There are many things you can do to protect water quality.
