Lacey Stormwater Survey

The City of Lacey (City) wants your input on how we manage our stormwater. Your feedback will help us prioritize future stormwater-related projects.

Stormwater is any water that runs over hard surfaces and into storm drains or into water bodies such as creeks and lakes. When water runs over surfaces like roads, it picks up pollutants. These pollutants- like oil, pet waste, trash, and yard debris- can end up in local waters.
