Inspecting Privately Owned Stormwater Systems

We work with commercial property owners, homeowner associations and neighborhoods to ensure their stormwater systems do what they are designed to do. We provide technical assistance on what to inspect and how to maintain their stormwater features. This helps save money in the long run, protects their property and our natural environment.

What we’re doing:

  • Provide a resources page for property owners to meet inspection and maintenance requirements, including a free online stormwater facility inspection and maintenance training course for property owners, property managers and contractors.
  • In 2025, staff implemented a streamlined facility maintenance inspection form used by property owners, property management, and contractors. The form improves the inspection process for property owners and managers.
  • The program inspects 100% of facilities adopted pursuant to the 2007-2024 Ecology municipal stormwater permits annually.
