Background and Analysis:
The City of Lacey is proposing the installation of a water main in Pacific Avenue (SR-510) near Olympia's existing 36-inch water main. The two waterlines will cross near 8673 Pacific Avenue SE.
Olympia's 36-inch transmission main supplies approximately 85 percent of the City's potable water and is a critical piece of the Drinking Water Utility's infrastructure. To reduce risks associated with construction of the City of Lacey's proposed main, Engineering staff recommends that their main crosses above the Olympia transmission main. In order to achieve this alignment of the City Lacey water main, a permanent easement is required through City of Olympia owned property.
Climate Analysis:
The proposed easement with the City of Lacey is expected to have minimal impact on greenhouse gas emissions. The emissions produced during construction and maintenance are the only known impacts to climate.
Equity Analysis:
This easement does not appear to have any indication that this project will create a burden on the surrounding community.
