Test Landscape Equipment Survey

The City Council’s 2025 adopted goals included an initiative to develop options for phasing out use of gas-powered yard and lawn care equipment in Lake Oswego. 

To inform work on this City Council goal, we want to hear from residents, property owners, and landscaping businesses that operate in Lake Oswego. 

You are invited to complete an online survey to share about your current landscaping practices and thoughts on possible incentives and educational programs that could facilitate the transition to battery-electric landscaping equipment and other sustainable alternatives to gas-powered equipment.

Test Only Rain Down the Drain!

Did you know that water entering our storm catch basins flows untreated directly into our local creeks, rivers, lakes, and oceans untreated? That means pollutants like trash, motor oil, chemicals, and yard waste go straight into the environment—harming wildlife, our water supply, and the places we swim. Help keep our waterways clean by following this simple rule: Only rain down the drain.

  • No pool or hot tub water (chlorinated, brominated, copper-treated, or heated)
  • No litter, leaves, or yard waste
  • No fertilizers or pesticides
  • No soaps or household cleaners
  • No pet waste

Discharging the above is considered an illicit discharge and can result in fines.
