Community Survey
In 2021, the City of Redmond invited the community to learn about plans to expand the City’s existing wastewater treatment facility, known as the Redmond Wetlands Complex.
Through this effort, the City has been reaching out to the community through various techniques, including conducting an online survey. The survey was developed using Survey Monkey, an online survey tool, and made available on the project website from October 19, 2021, through January 17, 2022. The survey was promoted through various sources: on the website, the City’s social media accounts, via email to interested project subscribers, during the virtual open house, and community meetings.
Survey results and input from other community meetings serve as a valuable reference to guide City staff, the City Council, and the consultant team during the design of the Redmond Wetlands Complex.
The results of the survey indicate community members have a high level of interest in the project.
Survey Highlights:
- 90% of respondents are very interested and following the project closely
- 87% of respondents envision using the Redmond Wetlands Complex
- 63% of respondents were nearby property owners/homeowners
