The City of Anacortes Stormwater Management Program works to improve water quality in our local waterways. Stormwater is the leading cause of water pollution in the Salish Sea. Rain washes whatever it touches (trash, fertilizers, dirt) into the storm drainage system and out to the Salish Sea. We are working to identify the areas that will benefit most from focused stormwater efforts. These efforts may include retrofit projects, targeted education and outreach, identification of land management strategies to protect water quality, and enhanced illicit discharge screening. 

We would like to hear from you! If you wish to take part in this process, you may fill out and submit the survey found at https://www.anacorteswa.gov/.../Anacortes-Storm-Drainage....  The survey should take less than five minutes. You may also send questions and comments to Diane Hennebert, Stormwater Program Manager, at dianeh@cityofanacortes.org. The deadline for comments is June 28, 2022. Any comments received after the deadline will be included as part of subsequent steps in our prioritization process.
