Rivers are predicted to rise on both the Puyallup and White Rivers to levels that could mean flooding in areas of Sumner. The City of Sumner continues to monitor and respond as necessary. Steps we have taken in anticipation:
- We ran the street sweeper through as much of the city as possible to clear storm drains of debris. If you see a clogged drain, please help by removing the debris to reduce localized flooding.
- We have checked the levee at Rainier Manor.
- The full length of the Sumner Link Trail is closed.
- State Street is closed where it crosses under SR 410.
- We are assessing/assisting with patching and reinforcing the Hesco sandbags along the White River.
- We are assembling the flood wall that protects our regional treatment facility.
- We are reaching out directly to businesses that might see impacts from the White River later this week.
We will continue to monitor the situation. You can watch the predictions at the following links:
