Stormwater Update

This project repaired a storm drain that went underneath a road in Leavenworth. A stormwater pipe had rusted. The project replaced an area inlet, reset the outlet pipe and added rip-rap to stabilize the bank. This is one of six projects in the first set of bids the City offered in 2019 for the new stormwater fee.

The City began the fee program in 2018 after looking at more than $83 million worth of needed repairs to Leavenworth’s stormwater system, including sinkholes found in residents’ backyards. A second set of six projects is scheduled to begin soon.
