Once complete, a painted mural is planned for the water tank. A request for
proposals was advertised in August for mural contractors. One proposal was
received from an experienced northwest contractor. The contractor will be

feedback. After that process, we will return to the Public Works Committee

Conservation Analyst, Laura Haren noted the City is permitted by the
Washington State Department of Ecology to discharge stormwater into
streams, lakes, wetlands, and the Green River. This permission is granted
under the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit
(Permit). The Permit is required by the Federal Clean Water Act, with specific
rule making under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES).
The Permit requires the City to implement Stormwater Management
Programs that manage and control stormwater runoff to prevent downstream
pollution. Public Works is responsible for ensuring that the city implements
stormwater management practices consistent with Permit requirements.
