INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Utilities Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson Public Works Director

DATE: May 16, 2014
SUBJECT: Sewer Comprehensive Plan
Project 91040102
Resolution to Adopt 2013 Sewer Comprehensive Plan
ISSUE
Adopt by resolution the 2013 Sewer Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City hired Carollo Engineers in 2010 to update our Water and Sewer Comprehensive Plans. Update
to the Comprehensive Plans is needed to reflect changes in regulatory requirements for water and sewer
utilities within the City of Tukwila systems. The Sewer Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2006
and did not reflect changes in regulations required under the Washington State Department of Ecology
(DOE). The plans also needed to be updated to include completed Capital Improvement Projects, the
Tukwila South annexation area, and newly identified needs. The State of Washington's DOE and King
County have both approved the Sewer Plan and the City of Tukwila's Department of Community
Development has issued the SEPA determination.
DISCUSSION
The updated 2013 Sewer Comprehensive Plan contains the following overall changes:
• Tukwila South area was added.
• A map book was added, showing a schematic of the sewer lines within the City of Tukwila's
sewer system.
• New /revised list of recommended Capital Improvement Projects.
• Increased funding in the CIP for the rehabilitation of sewers in the Commercial Business District
to prevent more collapsed mains.
• Developed a funding strategy that will provide financial strength and viability for the City to
implement the schedule of capital improvements.
• Developed accurate flow projections for the sewer system to forecast future expansion needs.
• Developed an Annual Sewer Repair Program for small repairs and capital maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to adopt by Resolution the 2013 Sewer Comprehensive Plan and consider this
item on the Consent Agenda at the June 2, 2014 Regular Meeting.
