Art for Clean Water:  connecting storm drains to Puget Sound

Love murals? Want to protect our local streams and Puget Sound? Kitsap County Public Works Stormwater Division manages this innovative stewardship project that allows Puget Sound artists to transform storm drains into public works of art. 

Kitsap County introduced the Art for Clean Water project in 2019 in Keyport. Additional designs were installed in Manchester in 2020 and at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in 2021. In 2022, five designs were painted at Olympic College's Bremerton campus. In total, 18 murals are painted throughout the county!

THE CONTEST

All artwork was selected through a contest that was opened to the public. These public art and stormwater education installations help connect the community to our local water resources. The designs illustrate themes about:

  • Stormwater Pollution: Puget Sound Starts Here…at our storm drains
  • Environmental Protection: Our Kitsap County waterways are resources worth protecting
  • Local ecosystems:  Preventing stormwater pollution protects orcas, salmon and human health
