News Release King County's Wastewater Treatment Division and the City of Carnation have scheduled a community meeting for Thursday, April 17, on plans for a sewage treatment and collection system in Carnation. The meeting will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room of Tolt Middle School, 3740 Tolt Ave. A presentation on project status will begin at 7 p.m. In 2002, Carnation and King County approved an agreement for the county to design, build and operate a wastewater treatment facility to serve the city. The city will develop, own and operate sewer lines connecting homes, businesses, and schools with the King County treatment plant. The agreement will protect public health and the environment. Water quality and treatment plant siting studies, along with financial evaluations, began in early 2003 and will continue through most of 2003. Environmental review will follow. Design and permitting will occur in 2004 and 2005, and construction is tentatively scheduled for 2006 and 2007. The City of Carnation and King County are working together to provide public information and involvement opportunities throughout the siting and development process for the wastewater treatment system. For information on the treatment plant, contact Jennifer Kauffman, King County Wastewater Treatment Division, at (206) 263-6029 or jennifer.kauffman@kingcounty.gov. For information on the sewage collection system, contact Bill Brandon, city manager for the City of Carnation, at (425) 333-4192. The county's Wastewater Treatment Division protects regional public health and water quality by serving 18 cities, 15 sewer districts and more than 1.4 million residents in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.
