Crews in King County, Washington, finished work this spring on a pipe-bursting project to repair an $11 million pipeline and holding tank that reportedly failed after only months of operation, according to KIRO News.
The half-mile pipeline project in Seattle’s South Magnolia neighborhood is meant to redirect wastewater overflow to a 1.5 million gallon holding tank for treatment that would have otherwise been released into Puget Sound.
The original project was completed in December 2015, but the system failed during a rainstorm the following fall. Now, rates are rising for Seattle taxpayers as the county has spent another $7.7 million
