The contractor has been working diligently in anticipation of rain to have the storm water system up and running (or draining) for the lowest areas of the project, and silt fencing in place in necessary areas. Although the news has been shouting a record 4-5 inches of rain so far this month, residents of Olympia just need to look out their windows to see what the weather has been like. Driving along Yelm Highway you may see some effects the weather has had on the project, but also the new storm sewer system at work.
Currently underway or in the near future you will see the amended soils being applied to bio-swales and drainage ponds. Starting next week the new water system for Orvas Ct. and Clar-Mar will likely be tested and subsequently put into use.
