Thursday, July 13, 6:00 to 8:00pm, Shoreline City Hall Council Chamber, 17500 Midvale Ave N, 98133.

The City of Shoreline Surface Water Utility is preparing the 2017 Surface Water Master Plan to address drainage and water quality challenges associated with growth, increasing regulations, and aging infrastructure.

The Master Plan will guide the Surface Water Utility for the next five to ten years and includes recommendations for capital improvements, programs, and a financial plan for long-term asset management.

The open house will feature an update on the Master Plan progress and there will be an opportunity for the public to provide input on the Utility Management Strategy and to provide feedback on improvements and priorities for the next five to ten years.

It will also provide customers with a general understanding of the Utility and an opportunity for the City to listen to the community, solicit innovative ideas, and receive public input regarding their concerns and experiences.

A key objective of the Master Plan is to identify improvements that will help the Utility meet levels of service that reflect the expectations of customers and that are appropriately in line with Utility rates. This requires a clear understanding of customers’ needs, expectations, and preferences.

The Surface Water Utility is also seeking feedback via a questionnaire from customers on their understanding of the Surface Water Utility, services, and current expectations of levels of service.

The questionnaire is available online and in person at a workstation during the open house. The questionnaire will remain online until July 16 at 5:00pm.
