About the project:King County repaired a 7-foot-diameter underground sewer pipe that runs along the CKC Trail. It carries sewage from Kirkland to the County’s South Treatment Plant in Renton, where it is cleaned and safely discharged to Puget Sound. Last year, King County and City of Kirkland crews detected sewage leaking from the County pipe and entering the City’s culvert. King County crews and contractors repaired the leaking joints under the CKC Trail. Crews installed a 3,000-foot, 18-inch-diameter temporary aboveground pipe that ensured sewer service during the repair work. This pipe will remain on the west side of the trail to support culvert repairs scheduled for this summer.More project information is availablehere.
