King County Community Services and Environmental planning announced today that jet grout material has been found in the underground transformer vault near the Barton Pump Station.

Seattle City Light will have crews on-site from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Thursday, March 7 to remove the grout.

It is expected to have no impact on ferry riders since they said that during the work, power will be turned off to the pump station and the ferry terminal, but two “Whisperwatt” generators will be on-site to provide power to both locations.

What to expect:
· Increased noise and activity on site
· Generators running from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on March 7 only
· Work is weather dependent. King County will notify the public if work is rescheduled.
