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.

G. The District is willing to construct and install the District Project, and to
investigate and plan for sewer service to the Loop Area, as long as the City supports the
construction and installation of the District Project, authorizes the District to provide and control
sewer service to the Loop Area, and authorizes the property owners who connect to the sewer
system to become District customers. The City is willing to allow the District to construct,
install and plan for a sewer system to serve the Loop Area, in order to facilitate development of
the Loop Area and to eliminate on-site sewer systems, as necessary. The Parties desire to set
forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions of such an arrangement and authorization.
