Bellevue influent trunk improvement

To protect public health and the environment the King County Wastewater Treatment Division has determined that the Bellevue Influent Trunk sewer line needs to be replaced or rehabilitated. The existing Bellevue Influent Trunk, originally constructed in 1966, has reached maximum capacity.

The Bellevue Influent Trunk Improvement Project will investigate options to repair or replace the existing sewer line, while possibly adding a parallel sewer line in order to provide the necessary capacity to serve the downtown Bellevue area through 2050. The existing influent trunk sewer line runs east along Southeast Third Street between 101st Avenue Southeast and 102nd Avenue Southeast, and south along 102nd Avenue Southeast to the intersection with Southeast Sixth Street where it enters the Bellevue Pump Station wet well.

Proposed project schedule

2009 complete predesign analysis
2010 complete design
2011 begin construction

Being a good neighbor

King County is committed to being a good neighbor and will work directly with the community throughout the project to address questions and concerns, provide timely updates on project activities, and minimize construction impacts whenever possible.

Project news 

Project update (PDF), April 2009 -
During the week of April 6 or 13, the King County Wastewater Treatment Division will be gathering soil and groundwater data in your neighborhood as part of the initial investigations for the Bellevue Influent Trunk Improvement Project. Crews will be drilling for soil samples in the right-of-way at 102nd Ave SE and SE 3rd Street in Bellevue.

The soil samples will help King County assess the soil conditions and accurately determine construction approaches.
