What was the Sewer Utilitys role in construction of infrastructure?
In 1969 Pierce County adopted the Chambers Creek-Clover Creek Basin Sewage General Plan. This plan outlined the staged construction of conventional interceptor and collector pipelines and a single 12 million gallons per day (MGD) secondary wastewater treatment plant with outfall to Puget Sound. This service area became the central portion of the Chambers Creek-Clover Creek Basin that included the Lakewood, Parkland and Spanaway areas. In 1973 this service area became Utility Local Improvement District (ULID) 73-1, the core of the urbanized Pierce County service area.
