SUBJECT:
Side Sewer Repair at 14139 56th Ave S
Project No. 91540202
ISSUE
Provide an update on the side sewer repair at 14139 56th Ave S.
BACKGROUND
In April of this year a complaint of the smell of sewage was reported near 14139 56th
Ave S. On April 14th, City staff videoed the sewer main in the street and found no
blockage. On April 20th, dye was released in a drain from inside the house and was later
detected at the surface of the street. A break in the side sewer between the house and
the public sanitary sewer main in the street is evident. The sanitary sewer main was
constructed in 1965.
ANALYSIS
City policy in similar experiences has made the property owner responsible for
maintenance and repair of the side sewer from the building to the sewer main in the
street. The property owner was informed that they are responsible for the repair at
which time they responded that they were financially unable to pay for the repairs.
Human Services was contacted regarding possible financial assistance and referred the
owners to the King County Housing Repair Program. While King County can provide
loan services through a lien on the property, the City has the ability by Code to perform
the repairs and place a lien the property. The property owner's preference was to have
the City perform the work and apply a lien, if appropriate, after the work is complete.
Construction of the repair was started on April 18th and is now complete. It was discover
during the repair that the installation of a city-owned storm line in 1979 was the cause of
the break and that the City is responsible for the repair costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City requested quotes from five contractors to complete the repair. Two of the five
contractors returned quotes to the City with the lowest from R.L. Alia at $16,411.86.
Funding will come from the 2015 Annual Sewer Repair Program Budget.

CASCADE
WATER ALLIANCE
Seattle Public Utilities and Cascade Water Resource Management
Response to Statewide Drought Declaration
Background:
Regional water suppliers have been in discussions with Ecology, Health and WDFW (Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife.) We have learned that it is highly likely that a statewide drought will be
declared by the end of the week of May 11 even though the water supply outlook for the three utilities
(Seattle, Tacoma and Everett) is good. Seattle (which supplies Cascade Water Alliance members with its
water) has been managing around low snowpack, with reservoirs having achieved refill in the upper
maximum range.
The outlook for municipal supply and instream resources is good and is expected to provide normal
minimum flows in the Cedar and South Fork Tolt Rivers.
1. Seattle (which provides water to Cascade Water Alliance, of which Tukwila is a member),
Tacoma, and Everett's water supplies are good, despite the statewide drought declaration. We
understand that many areas of our state are facing drought conditions. In our area, though, we are
fortunate that our water supply outlook remains good. We have been storing additional water
from rainfall in our reservoirs and they are nearly full and in good shape for the summer demand.
Ground water wells also support our water supplies.
The water supplies are good for fish, too. We provide guaranteed instream flows throughout the
year for fish.
How was water supply managed in the face of a low- snowpack year? Our water supply systems
(SPU) are designed and managed to collect runoff from rainfall and snowmelt and operational
changes were made in the system to capture and release water throughout the year and move it
through water supply systems. Reservoir levels are normal for this time of year due to these
operational practices.
4. How can customer's help? Although saving water in this region unfortunately won't help our
neighbors in drought- stricken parts of the state, we ask our customers to continue to use water
wisely as they would in any other year, and follow normal activities.
Planning for climate change. This year's low snowpack represents one scenario of climate change
in the future. VVe may begetting less snowpack in the future and vve are continuing 1odevelop
management methods and tools to become less reliant on it. As the snowpack decreases, we will
rely more on rainfall for supply.
