Temporary Construction Dewatering

Temporary Construction Dewatering is a construction method that temporarily removes groundwater or surface water from an excavated site to build sub-surface structures, footings or utilities. The City of Redmond has adopted policies and code updates to balance construction activities with the need to protect the City’s aquifer that provides high quality drinking water to its community, maintain wetland and stream habitats and protect stormwater runoff systems to prevent flooding.
