Falling rain has fewer places to soak in gradually. Runoff on hard surfaces occurs faster and in greater volumes. Increased stormwater runoff can worsen flooding, erosion, and water pollution and destroy stream habitat. Facilities are inspected periodically to ensure they are safe and function properly. The County also relies on citizens to report problems that arise between inspection dates.
King County inspects to determine maintenance needs.
