City of Redmond’s Stormwater Maintenance Division provides 24/7
year-round services to citizens residing within the 16 square miles of
Redmond. Our goal is to protect property and the environment by
improving water quality and minimizing flooding, while protecting the
City’s capital investment in stormwater facilities. Normal operating
times are Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM
(3:30 PM on Fridays). Staff are on-call for emergencies 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. The Division uses the latest technologies to inspect,
maintain, and repair existing stormwater systems in the City. Personnel
respond to drainage questions, runoff problems, storm events, and
flooding.
Redmond’s publicly maintained stormwater system collects, conveys,
stores and treats stormwater and includes more than: 170 miles of pipe;
9,963 catch basins and manholes; 79 vaults, 84 ponds, 40 bioswales, 25
miles of roadside drainage ditches; and 68 miles of streams.
A well functioning stormwater system safeguards the local
environment, and in doing so, protects endangered salmon, migratory
birds, aquatic and other valuable wildlife; all for the ecological
well-being of present and future generations.
