Responding to spills helps to keep our waterways (such as a lake, stream, ditch, or storm drains) clean and healthy. 

If you see a spill M-F 8:00am - 4:00pm, please call the Public Works hotline at 425-622-9403 to notify us.

If you see a spill outside of our normal business hours (including holidays) please dial 9-1-1 to have it directed to the on-call Public Works staff.

When to call 9-1-1 immediately:

• A person is in the process of dumping pollution in a storm drain or waterway
• A large chemical or oil spill (about five gallons or more) on the ground or waterway
• Raw sewage spill
