CSO Control Program --
Being a Good Neighbor

King County is committed to working with local communities to ensure that wastewater facilities fit in with the character of the community and are considered an asset. The Elliott West CSO Control Facility, Carkeek Park Pump Station (located next to the Carkeek Park CSO Treatment Plant), the Interurban Pump Station, and the Dexter Regulator Station Green Roof are examples of this commitment.

We can work together to protect water quality in many ways. Remember that what goes down drains may go into lakes, streams, rivers, and other water bodies. We can all help protect our water by:

• reducing our use of chemicals in our homes and on our yards.
• keeping paints, oils, and pesticides out of storm drains.
• fixing leaks from vehicles.
• placing trash such as diapers, napkins, tampons, condoms and cigarettes in your wastebasket and not your toilet.
