Stormwater Hotline

Stormwater is runoff from rain and snow storms. A system of gutters, ditches and storm drains collect the runoff and discharge it into local rivers and streams. Stormwater becomes a source of water pollution when oil, trash or other contaminants are dumped into gutters and storm drains.

To report a spill or stormwater concern in the greater Wenatchee area, please call one of the following numbers:
In Chelan County call (509) 667-6415
In the City of Wenatchee call (509) 888-3235
For emergencies please call 911

Construction Advisory

North Road:

Commencing on Thursday June 18, 2009 North Road From Chumstick HIghway to Motteler Road will be closed through September for construction of a bridge over Chumstick Creek. Construction for this project begins at Chumstick Highway and ends just past Fox Road.

County Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element and County Wide Transportation Plan

Chelan County is updating the Transportation Element of the Chelan County Comprehensive Plan, which was initially developed in 2000. The growing population and changing nature of the regional economy requires us to realign our transportation needs with current and projected land use patterns.

The 20-year plan will identify needed improvements to the county’s roadways, bridges, bike, pedestrian, aviation and rail facilities. As required by the Growth Management Act, a prioritized transportation project list, financing strategies and implementation measures will be included in the plan.

Stormwater Utility

In January 2008 Chelan County adopted a storm water utility to manage stormwater needs in developing areas around Wenatchee. All developed properties containing impervious surfaces (impervious surface includes rooftops and paved areas) will be charged a service fee. The proposed service area does not include properties within the city of Wenatchee.

Stormwater NPDES Program

Pollutants carried in stormwater runoff are quickly becoming a leading cause of water pollution in rivers and lakes. The Urban Growth Area of Wenatchee falls under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II requirements which require a specific set of actions to meet these Clean Water Act mandates. Chelan County is required to get a stormwater quality permit from the Department of Ecology for this service area under the NPDES regulations. This NPDES Phase II planning area will have the same boundary as the new Chelan County stormwater utility.

Road Information

Weight Restrictions: Weight Restrictions are used each spring to protect some of our roads from damage by heavy loads. Contact the Public Works Department for a list of roads under restriction.

Snowmobiles: For more information on snowmobile use on county roads, please contact the Chelan County Public Works Office, (509) 667-6415.
