The City's wastewater treatment plant outfall has experienced several near-shore leaks in recent years. The purpose of this project is to replace the off-shore portion of the existing outfall system with a new outfall and diffuser. This project will provide hydraulic capacity for current and future effluent flows, and will meet state water quality standards. The City has hired Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to design and obtain permitting.

The City recently received a Department of Ecology loan for the final design and construction of the outfall.  The current schedule is:

  • Submit permit applications by year-end 2022
  • Final permitting and design – 2023
  • Construction – summer 2024
