North Mason Chamber of Commerce :: Belfair Sewers Evolving Progress & Project Updates

Edition 32, August 27, 2010

Construction on the Belfair Wastewater and Water Reclamation Facilities Project continues with work on conveyance lines and at the water reclamation facility. These regular construction e-mails are designed to let you know where and when contractors will be working and to give you updates on project progress. These notices are also posted to the project website

*There will be no work Sept. 3-6, 2010 in anticipation of Labor Day Holiday traffic.

Upcoming activities - beginning week of August 30

Night work on SR 3 continues (7:30 p.m. - 5 a.m.): Crews will continue laying the main conveyance pipes and side sewer connections from Romance Hill Road and south on SR 3 this week. SR 3 will be reduced to one lane at night, and flaggers will continue to direct drivers around the work area. Work on the conveyance line is taking longer than expected. In an effort to keep work on SR 3 moving and minimize traffic impacts, additional crews will be working on SR 3 to begin laying the side sewer stubs. Safety is our priority during construction, and we appreciate your cooperation in following the direction of the traffic control team. Thank you for your continued patience as we complete work in this difficult area in the most efficient manner possible.

· Work on SR 300/Old Belfair Highway: Work has been completed at the 4-way stop but side sewers still need to be laid on SR 300. In an effort to accelerate work on SR 3, these crews have been moved to SR 3. SR 300 will remain open to traffic this week and crews will return to SR 300 at a later date.

· Work at the bore pit near the Sherriff's Annex: Crews will be working at the bore pit near the Sherriff's Annex along SR 3 again this week.

· Water reclamation facility: Crews continue to work on framing and pouring for slabs at the operations building and the treatment plant. Work continues in the vicinity of the railroad tracks in preparation for the connection of the conveyance line to the wastewater treatment facility.

· Pump Stations: Work on Pump Station 3 will continue this week preparing for the anticipated concrete pour. There will be additional truck traffic in this area (around Romance Hill) but roads will remain open. Crews continue to wet down dirt piles in an effort to reduce the amount of dust in the area during this work.

· Side Sewer Confirmation Forms: If you have received your side sewer mailing, including a parcel map and side sewer form, please complete your side sewer form and mail it to the county or drop it off at the Vehicle and Vessel Licensing Office (23910 NE State Route 3, Belfair, across from the North Mason Chamber).
