2009 Activities

Flow and rainfall monitoring will continue into 2009.  It's important that a "significant" rainfall event occurs during the monitoring period to help define the problem areas and substantiate the initial findings and conclusions.  Additionally, dye testing will occur in all three pilot areas (Kutzky Park, Slatterly Park West, and Slatterly Park East).  This testing will occur beginning in June, 2009.

General Information

Kutzky Park is located between 6th Ave NW and 16th Ave NW, and between Civic Center Drive and 2nd St SW.  Cascade Creek flows through the northern half of this neighborhood from west to east.

After the historic rain and flooding occurred in August, 2007 this area was identified as an area requiring more study to ensure that the sanitary sewer infrastructure is adequately serving this area.   

Below is a list of informational documents regarding this study.
