1. Aurora Drainage and Sewer Improvements Project | Dave LaClergue, Area Planning Supervisor, Seattle Public Utilities Drainage & Wastewater
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is planning drainage and sewer system improvements along Aurora Avenue North from North 80th to North 145th Streets. These improvements will add capacity to the drainage and sewer systems, reduce risks of floods and sewer backups, and provide infrastructure that is ready for growth and climate change. SPU is beginning analysis of potential impacts to Green Lake, Lake Union, and other downstream systems, and beginning evaluation of mitigation options. View map.
2. Where does Green Lake get its phosphorus that controls the amount of algae growth? | Rob Zisette, Principal Limnologist, Herrera Environmental Consultants
Rob will present the lake water and phosphorus budgets that he prepared in the early 1990s along with estimates of how they may have changed over the past 30 years.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
