15-115 Council Approval 5118115 VALLEY VIEW SEWER DISTRICT AND CITY OF TUKWILA SEWER SERVICE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between VALLEY VIEW SEWER DISTRICT,King County, Washington("District") and the CITY OF TUKWILA, Washington ("City"), each a Washington municipal corporation (collectively the "Parties" and individually a "Party"). RECITALS A. The City, a non-charter code city operating under Title 35A RCW, and the District, a sewer district operating under Title 57 RCW,both own and operate sewer collection systems within their respective sewer service areas. B. Pursuant to RCW 35A.11.040, RCW 35.67.300, RCW 57.08.005(12), and Chapter 39.34 RCW, the Parties are authorized to cooperate with each other to provide sewer services in a manner that will best satisfy the geographic,planning, economic, financing and development interests of the Parties. C. An area of the City bounded generally by South 160th Street, 42nd Avenue South, State Route 518, and 51St Avenue South, and commonly referred to as the loop area("Loop Area"), currently is not served by a public sewer system. The Loop Area is not within the boundaries of the District. D. Pursuant to RCW 57.08.005(5), the District is authorized to acquire, construct, maintain and operate sewer systems, both within the District and outside the District. Pursuant to this authority,the District has adopted a comprehensive plan that includes most of the Loop Area within its sewer service area. E. The City is designing and planning a street project on 42nd Avenue South, in the vicinity of the Loop Area, with construction anticipated in 2016. In conjunction with this street project,the District is designing and planning an eight-inch sewer pipe and a manhole,together with appurtenances, at approximately 42nd Avenue South and State Route 518 ("District Project"). The District Project, combined with extensions and facilities, would provide sewer service to the Loop Area. In contrast, the nearest City manhole to the Loop Area is approximately 2,000 feet East of the Loop Area. F. The Loop Area is within the City's current Sewer Comprehensive Plan. However, construction of a sewer system in the Loop Area is a low priority for the City, as the native soils in the Loop Area are sufficient to infiltrate wastewater for a majority of the on-site sewer systems in the Loop Area. The City anticipates that several large lots within the Loop Area will be developed in the near future, before the City has constructed a sewer system in the Loop Area. 466038.3 I 089539 1 0001 -1- /"574 d e_-/67/v4-4_3
