How To Report Pollution Problems in Longfellow Creek
The Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), surface water quality investigators rely on and respond to calls from citizens and other agencies regarding water quality problems. A typical call might report a leaking automobile, concrete wash out dumped on the street, paint in a creek, or organic debris (including pet waste) in a drainage system or waterway.
An investigative team promptly visits a problem site, and if a responsible party can be identified, the team informs the party of the problem, offers ways for future disposal and instructs the party to resolve the problem. If the issue is not resolved by the responsible party a Notice of Violation of Seattle's Stormwater and Drainage Code can be issued.
The SPU has up to date information on its Web site. Here are a few links:
