Seattle Ups Street Sweeping to Address Stormwater Pollution

World Sweeping Association

Because of Seattle's location on Puget Sound, the city is planning to increase its street sweeping program to $1.8 million in 2016 in an effort to reduce stormwater runoff pollution.

In 2014, the SDOT upgraded their entire fleet with seven Schwarze A9 Monsoon models, which have a 9.6 cu. yd. volumetric (8 cu. yd. usable) capacity and one mechanical broom sweeper. These sweepers are ideal for water sweeping with the higher capacity.
