Edition 26, July 16, 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

· Side Sewer Confirmation Forms - return by July 30: Property owners required to connect to the system have been sent a letter, map and side sewer confirmation form. This is part of the work we have been doing to gather information about properties' existing utilities to help streamline side sewer connections. Please make sure you 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) before July 30, 2010. If you believe you need to connect and you have not received a side sewer map and form, please call the project hotline at 360-801-2482.

Upcoming activities - beginning week of July 19

· Work on SR 3 at night: Open trench work continues to be a priority this week on SR 3 starting at Pump Station 1 (across from the thrift store) and moving south. SR 3 will have one lane open to traffic and flaggers will be directing drivers around the project area. Work will be performed at night (7:30 p.m. - 5 a.m.).

· Paving work on SR 3: WSDOT is doing repaving work at night on SR 3 south of Belfair. For more information or questions about this project, please contact Jerry Moore at moorejd@wsdot.wa.gov

· Contaminated soils on SR 300: Contaminated soils found on SR 300 have been addressed and SR 300 is completely open to traffic.

· Boring pits: The boring contractor has completed the connection under the railroad tracks east of Belfair.

· Pump Stations: Residents will see additional truck traffic near Pump Station 3 as crews prepare to pour the concrete slab for the basin this week but work is not expected to impact traffic.

· Water reclamation facility: Work continues on framing and pouring walls at the reclamation facility. Excavation of the diversion pond is complete. The diversion pond is used to hold effluent that does not meet permit standards until it can be run through the plant.

Please note that contractor schedules are dependent upon weather conditions and delivery of materials.
