Approval of the King County Lake Hills Sewer Upgrade Project Utility Easement
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The King County Wastewater Treatment Division plans to construct the Lake Hills Trunk (LHT) Sewer Upgrade Project to replace the existing regional sewer line serving Redmond and Bellevue for over 50 years. The existing line sends wastewater to King County's Brightwater Treatment Facility in Woodinville and is reaching capacity as it nears the end of its service life. Within Redmond, the LHT Project will eventually upgrade approximately 4.5 miles of sewer line (See Attachment A). King County needs to locate a portion of the line on City property on the east side of the Sammamish River within the Sammamish River Trail between Redmond Way and the Redmond Central Connector and has offered to pay the City $10,358.00 for a 2,734 sq. ft. utility easement. After reviewing King County's offer, staff recommends that the City Council approve granting the easement. (see Attachments B and C).
