CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU Qualify FOR

PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS


Properties near and along creeks that drain to Lake Whatcom have a special role to play in protecting water quality. Pipes and drains on your property may carry runoff from pollution-generating surfaces, such as lawns, driveways, and roofs, directly into the creek. Installing a water quality improvement can mitigate these impacts, creating a beautiful feature on your property that also works to clean up your site’s runoff.

To get started, learn more about the projects you qualify for by downloading the resources below then sign up for HIP.
