The Stormwater Division of the Public Works Department manages and maintains the City’s stormwater collection and conveyance system. The natural drainage system consists of the Dogfish, Lemolo, Johnson and Bjorgen Creek basins, as well as several other basins that discharge directly to Liberty Bay. The collection and conveyance system consists of approximately 80 miles of pipes, 4 miles of open drainage ditches, 3,000 catch basins, and 51 discharge points.
Stormwater runoff rates are controlled by more than 50 detention facilities in numerous neighborhoods and at some commercial properties. These facilities include limited localized treatment for stormwater quality, but otherwise, stormwater is not treated. For more information about stormwater quality click here. Inquiries should be directed to Public Works, (360) 779-4078.
We are currently working on updating our stormwater resources and brochures. If you can’t find the information you’re looking for, please contact us at publicworks@cityofpoulsbo.com.
