Brightwater TREATMENT SYSTEM -
King and Snohomish Counties,
Washington
In
response to increased growth in our region, King County is constructing
a new regional WASTEWATER treatment plant, called
Brightwater on State
Route 9
north of Woodenville. Construction, using TBM's,
started in 2006 and is scheduled to
be completed in 2010, with operations starting in 2011.
Brightwater
will serve portions of King and Snohomish counties (see Service
Area), and support a mission to protect public health and the
environment.
The new facilities thirteen miles of Conveyance
(pipes and pumps taking wastewater to and from the plant),
and a marine outfall. View: 2007 Report
When
it comes online, Brightwater will be the largest MBR wastewater
treatment plant in the world. As a result of this advanced treatment
process, effluent
leaving the plant will be of a high enough quality for use in
irrigation and certain industrial applications. In addition, a digester
will produce methane
for powering the plant, and solids collecting from the wastewater
during the treatment process will be collected and hauled off-site for
compost and
other uses. Enclosed odor-control structures will be the most
sophisticated in the nation and will emit no odors to the surrounding
community.
This
includes a huge tunnel that goes way under and just north of our home -
RED DOT east of station numbered "4". The Google Images are several
months old.
