COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT
LOWER MAY CREEK SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
HISTORY OF WINDTREE & MAY CREEK SEWERS

  • WIND TREE DIVISIONS 1 THROUGH 5 CONSTRUCTED- 1972 TO 1984


  • PUBLIC ("DRY") SEWERS INSTALLED IN WIND TREE STREETS AS PART OF PLAT CONSTRUCTION


  • IT WAS ANTICIPATED THAT METRO WOULD CONSTRUCT THE MAY CREEK INTERCEPTOR ALONG MAY CREEK BASED ON PAST AGREEMENTS.


  • DESIGN OF THE MAY CREEK INTERCEPTOR WAS COMPLETED BY THE DISTRICT IN THE 1980'S. CONSTRUCTION FUNDING NEVER RECEIVED.


  • PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEMS AND DRAIN FIELDS CONSTRUCTED FOR WIND TREE LOTS TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY SERVICE UNTIL MAY CREEK INTERCEPTOR W AS CONSTRUCTED.


  • 1986 & 1991 - ALONG WITH DEVELOPERS, COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT CONSTRUCTS "TEMPORARY" LIFT STATIONS TO PUMP SEWER FROM THE MAY CREEK BASIN NORTH TO THE COAL CREEK BASIN. LIFT STATIONS INTENDED TO BE ABANDONED AFTER MAY CREEK INTERCEPTOR IS CONSTRUCTED.


  • 2001 - KING COUNTY (METRO) FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE MAY CREEK INTERCEPTOR WOULD NOT BE CONSTRUCTED AS PLANNED DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT IS REQUIRED TO UPGRADE FACILITIES TO PERMANENTLY PUMP SEWER FROM THE MAY CREEK BASIN TO THE COAL CREEK BASIN.


  • THIS PROJECT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO SEWER THE LOWER MAY CREEK BASIN.


  • 2005 - THE DISTRICT RECEIVES A USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT LOAN TO PARTIALLY FUND THE PROJECT.


  • APRIL 2007 - CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
