Description:

The project replaces a major wastewater line serving West Olympia that has overflowed to Garfield Creek and contributes to problematic overflows at the West Bay Pump Station.  This is the highest priority project of the Wastewater Utility.

Construction consists of installing a new sanitary sewer main and manholes in Northwest Olympia, to remedy the sewer system's lack of capacity to handle peak flows.  Following installation, the streets will receive an asphalt overlay.  In addition, to meet the American Disabilities Act (ADA) requrements, several intersections will receive new access ramps.

Schedule:

Construction is scheduled to begin the week of August 24th, and continue through November 2009.
