Completed January 2011 The Bellevue Pump Station upgrade and force main installation was completed in two phases. During phase one of the upgrade, a new 5,300-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter pipeline was installed from the Bellevue Pump Station directly to the Eastside Interceptor, a large regional pipe near Interstate 405. The force main project was completed in March 2008. Phase two began in fall 2008. The above grade pump station was demolished and replaced with a facility featuring more powerful pumps, a new generator building, stronger odor control equipment and updated architecture. Completed fall 2010, the refurbished pump station is able to convey more than 13 million gallons of wastewater daily from west and central Bellevue to King County's South Treatment Plant in Renton -- a 60 percent increase in capacity.
