Neighbors are invited to an open house on Saturday, October 13th, 10 am to noon to learn about design updates to King County’s Barton Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control project in West Seattle. The open house is set for 10 a.m. to noon at the Westside School, 7740 34th Ave. SW, Seattle.

Combined sewer overflows occur during heavy rain when stormwater fills sewers to capacity in older parts of the city. To comply with state water quality requirements, King County will control CSOs from the Barton Pump Station through a system of bioretention swales and Green Stormwater Infrastructure in West Seattle’s Sunrise Heights and Westwood neighborhoods.

Project staff will share a number of design updates that reflect new technical information and community member feedback, including:

·A reduction in the number of bioswales and impacted streets.

·Fewer and smaller curb bulbs to preserve parking.

·Preservation of property access and tree canopy.

·Rebates and financial incentives for residents to voluntarily install raingardens and cisterns through Seattle’s RainWise program.
