Ahead of the City of Kent's upcoming roadway and utility project, the District replaced water mains on 98th Avenue S from S 218th Street to S 216th Street. The old mains were undersized based on current codes and regulations, and some were installed in the early 1960s. The District's Contractor, Blue Mountain Construction Group, LLC has successfully replaced approximately 830 feet of existing water main, associated fire hydrants, valves and service lines from the new main to the water meters. Road surfaces have been patched and the City of Kent's improvement project will fully restore the roadway once their work is complete.
Project Outcomes
- Reduced leaks and line breaks
- Enhanced water quality
