Coal Creek sewer upgrade

The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade Project will install new sewer pipes to carry more wastewater and meet the growing needs of Bellevue and Newcastle.

Project description

The Coal Creek Sewer Upgrade Project will upgrade a regional sewer line that serves Bellevue and Newcastle. Built between 1966 and 1991, the existing pipeline is nearing its maximum capacity and needs to be upgraded to carry more wastewater and meet the growing needs of the community.

Once installed, the new sewer pipe will serve the area for another 50 years or more.

Take our survey to help us keep you informed during construction! Pre-construction survey closing soon!

King County knows that construction can impact community members. The Coal Creek Project team wants to hear from you and your community about how best to keep you informed during construction.

Our pre-construction survey is open through September 12. Taking the survey requires approximately three to five minutes. Participants can reply to questions in their preferred language. We are not collecting any personal identifying data, and all data entries are optional.
