What does this mean for me?
Benefits
This project will increase the capacity of the existing interceptor to handle growth beyond 2024. It also replaces aging infrastructure with materials that are less likely to corrode, and so will last longer in the wastewater environment.
Homeowners
Pierce County will maintain existing sewer connections and make connections to the new interceptor where applicable. Pierce County will maintain service in the area without interruption by bypassing existing sewer flows.
Traffic impacts
Intermittent road closures will be necessary to complete the work. The contractor will be required to provide advance notice of any closures and maintain local and emergency vehicle access.
Privately owned property in County right-of-way
The contractor will need to make use of the county right-of-way to install the sewer line. Property owners may need to remove privately owned items within the right-of-way that they wish to salvage prior to construction.
