Lake Hills and NW Lake Sammamish sewer upgrade

The Lake Hills and NW Lake Sammamish Sewer Upgrade Project will upgrade 4.5 miles of sewer pipes serving the growing Redmond and Bellevue area.

Project description

The Lake Hills and NW Lake Sammamish sewer pipe has been serving Redmond and Bellevue for 50 years, carrying wastewater to Brightwater Treatment Plant in Woodinville for treatment. King County is working on a project to upgrade 4.5 miles of this sewer pipe to meet the growing needs of the community. King County will build the new pipe in trails, roads, and parks in Redmond.

Construction on the project is expected to begin in 2024 and may impact your daily routine. When the project is complete, the new pipe will provide sewer service for 50 years or more.
