City of Washington - Information and news updates from the City of Washington, Missouri government.

We all know that trees provide shade on hot days, exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in our air, and provide a home to a diversity of fauna; but did you know that their roots are magical underground sponges that help retain and promote the infiltration of stormwater keeping our streets and homes safer from flood events. #SWPPP #washmo #waterwisewednesday #savetheurbanforest
