Background and Analysis:
The Black Lake Sewer Lift Station, built nearly 50 years ago, serves over 350 City of Olympia sewer customers. The facility cannot meet the current demand during rainy weather and it won't be able to accommodate future development. In 2012, the City evaluated the lift station and sewer pipes that serve this area to determine the best approach to increase the capacity of the lift station and sewer pipeline. In 2013, the City installed approximately 2,200 feet of new 8-inch pipe along Black Lake Boulevard. This year, the City will install a new sewer lift station and connect it to the pipeline constructed last year. These improvements will add capacity to serve an additional 87 acres of currently undeveloped land as well as improve the ability to handle additional flow when it rains.
This project will install a sanitary sewer lift station at 2421 Black Lake Boulevard, an electrical control cabinet, and a standby generator.
