Eastside Interceptor Sewer Improvement Project -- Completed March 2003!
The King County Wastewater Treatment Division
has completed a sewer improvement project in downtown Renton to restore
lost capacity to the pipeline that carries water from Eastside
communities to the South Treatment Plant in Renton. Lost capacity was the
result of repairs following the 1965 earthquake.
King County worked closely with the City of Renton and residents in the
immediate construction area to reduce the negative impacts of noise,
vibrations, truck traffic and street closures during the 12-month
construction project. The project mostly affected sections of Houser Way South and Morris Avenue South.
