Pump Station Installation Begins!

Just east of Brassfield drivers may see a large hole that has developed in the last few days.  As mentioned in Wednesday's post, this is the new location of the sewage pump station.  Construction of the pump station structure will begin next week.

I think the pink rock is either the grade depth, or it's radioactive. :-O

Looks like someone needs to set their camera clock! ;-)

 Sewer installation this week and into next week continues as usual along Yelm Hwy with the exception that drivers and homeowners will see some side sewer connections going in, similar to Village Drive this week, which will disrupt travel on side streets.  Homeowners will be notified of the disruptions prior to them happening and as soon as details are available they will be posted here on the blog.

 Can you dig it?  We can!!!

Construction of stormwater crossings (across Yelm Hwy) will also pick up again beginning next week on the West end of the project.  

2011- Week 1 Jan 5th

Happy New Year.


Contractor plans to continue installation of water and sewer pipe and there will be traffic restrictions at different work zones for the next week as crews move along the pipe installation routes.  The pump station excavation is occurring east of Brassfield.  Work is off of the traveled lanes, but trucks and equipment will move in and out of that work zone and will impact traffic flow.
