information from King County
King County’s contractor finished the concrete work for the Murray CSO Control facility’s one million gallon underground storage tank. Building the storage tank required some of the most intense activity on the project. King County and its contractor deeply appreciate the community’s patience while crews built the tank.
The facility building will have three rooms to house mechanical and electrical equipment. It was designed to follow the slope of Lincoln Park Way S.W. behind it. The building will be 20 feet tall at its highest point. Construction of the facility building will continue into Spring 2016.
Work to connect the underground storage tank to the Murray Pump Station will continue while the building is constructed. This work will increase congestion and cause traffic delays of up to 15 minutes and parking restrictions on the 7000 block of Beach Dr. S.W. Please stay safe. Follow the directions of flaggers and signs when near the site.
