Construction Season

There are a couple of road construction projects around town this week:
  • 51st and Bennett: Teresa Dressler from the City of Tacoma reports that about 500 feet of 24 inch PVC sanitary sewer main line will be installed from behind the pond between N. 51st and Bennett to just before the tunnel. 850 feet of iron water mains will also be installed in the 51st, Bennett and 52nd Street area.
  • The water mains on Bennett and 52nd are done, the current work on the sewer lines is scheduled to be done by August 17th. The water main on 51st will be next, done by September 8th and the road restored by the 15th. The old lines will be abandoned when Point Ruston completes the new lines through their property.
  • N. 49th and Baltimore: The long-anticipated sewer replacement work has started with a mini-project. The main line on 49th is being extended so that one of the new houses in the area can hook into the main line rather than continue to pump up to the alley behind the house.
