3. Who do I contact if my storm system needs maintenance or repairs?

If City of Bothell staff notified you that your storm system needs maintenance and/or repairs, whether after an urgent response or through a routine inspection, you may need to hire a contractor to do the work. Here is some information about drainage system maintenance service contractors with a current City of Bothell business license that permits them to perform services within Bothell's city limits. We update this list every August. City of Bothell has no affiliation with the contractors and does not guarantee quality of service or otherwise endorse any of the contractors. 

Labor & Industries offers helpful tips about hiring a contractor.

4. Who do I call if my property is flooding?
