Coal Creek sewer upgrade

The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade Project will install new sewer pipes to carry more wastewater and meet the growing needs of Bellevue and Newcastle.

Project description

The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade Project will upgrade a regional sewer line that serves Bellevue and Newcastle. Built between 1966 and 1991, the existing pipeline is nearing its maximum capacity and needs to be upgraded to carry more wastewater and meet the growing needs of the community.

Once installed, the new sewer pipe will serve the area for another 50 years or more.

King County’s Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade project is in the final design and contractor procurement stage. During this stage, the project team is focused on finalizing permitting activities and bringing a contractor onboard. We will continue to keep community members informed and updated through email about the project’s progress. We can also attend community events and provide neighborhood briefings upon request.
