An alert for Lowman Beach-area residents: The contractor for King County’s Murray Combined Sewer Overflow Control Project plans four hours of late-night work tomorrow night. The county sent the notification this afternoon; the work involves pipe inspections that have to be done under certain tidal and pipe-use conditions, and those conditions happen 11 pm Friday night until about 3 am Saturday. Workers will be inspecting pipes beneath two manholes, one on the south side of Lowman Beach Park, one alongside the CSO project site on Lincoln Park Way. A map is part of the notification document you can see here (PDF). The county says neighbors are being notified, and reminds anyone with questions/concerns that they can call the 24-hour project hotline at 206-205-9186.

Also, a reminder: This Saturday is also scheduled to be the first of several Saturdays with extra excavation work, as previously announced.

Wow. It boggles my mind to think of how much sewage will be stored in those huge mega tanks being constructed not three blocks from my home. I know it has to go somewhere…

Remember, this is for overflow. Hopefully it will be used sparingly, but beats the heck out of direct discharge into the Sound!

I have noticed filled trucks going south on California/east on Fauntleroy. They might be using Graham St from 48th to California, I have not been able to see that segment of the trip yet. How often do they update that information? I had thought the exit path was Erskine.

Sorry, comment time is over.
