Everett considers funding for large pipeline project

EVERETT — The Everett City Council is set to consider approval of an ordinance that would fund construction of water and sewer pipelines along West Marine View Drive that are needed for the Port Gardner Storage Facility project.

The ordinance would allocate $113 million to the construction phase of the project, which would include a new combined stormwater and sewer pipe along with the replacement of a 48-inch water main, according to a city council memo. In 2023, the city allocated $4.5 million to design the water and sewer upgrades.

Much of the funding for the project would come from utility fees.

The pipelines would be used to send flows of excess stormwater into the Port Gardner Storage Facility, a more than $200 million undertaking in the works for more than a decade that will temporarily store the stormwater until it can be sent to wastewater treatment.
