NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION

 

The Natural Resource Division of Skagit County Public Works focuses on surface water and our local water resources. A highly trained staff manages a number of programs to provide clean water, effective drainage, flood damage reduction and restoration.

Partnering with dike and drainage districts, tribes, state and federal agencies, Skagit Conservation District and local non-profit agencies, Skagit County effectively leverages local funding sources and resources for maximum efficiency and results.
