Report Surface Water Pollution

Help protect Seattle's water and wildlife by reporting surface water pollution. Seattle Public Utilities will send a surface water quality field inspector to investigate the problem and get it cleaned up.

Surface water refers to rain that falls and carries pollutants along streets and into Seattle's creeks, lakes and Puget Sound. Examples of pollutants to report so they can be cleaned up include:

  • • leaking automobiles
  • • concrete dumped on the street
  • • paint poured down a drain
To make a report
Use Surface Water Pollution On-line Complaint Form or call the Surface Water Pollution Report Line at (206) 684-7587.
