2018 Lake Whatcom Water Quality

​​​Project Overview: EV159​

This project modified existing drainage infrastructure in three locations around Lake Whatcom as part of the City’s capital improvement program and efforts to protect Lake Whatcom.

This project installed stormwater treatment systems to protect water quality in Lake Whatcom from pollution running off of private properties and City roads and rights-of-way. As a result of these projects, nearly all of the runoff (stormwater) from the City portion of the watershed is now treated, to some degree, for phosphorus, fecal coliform, and other pollutants.

Funding for this project came from Department of Ecology Water Quality Combined Funding, Fiscal Year 2018, Stormwater Financial Assistance Program. Match provided by Storm and Surface Water Utility as part of funding dedicated to Lake Whatcom Management Program planned activities.
