Staff: Suquamish Valley lift station data show pumps near capacity; options analysis underway
Summary
Staff removed data loggers, provided two weeks of data to a consultant, and said the city is on the edge of pump station capacity — meaning the hospital project cannot proceed without a solution; staff will analyze options and bring recommendations to the city.
Patrick Fry, parks and public works project engineer, reported that crews removed data loggers from the Suquamish Valley (Snoqualmie Valley) lift station and provided two weeks of data to the consultant for analysis.
“We've seen the survey data. There are a couple follow-up questions with that,” Fry said, noting the consultant now has all logging information and is analyzing numbers. Fry told the committee that the pump station is “pretty well maxed out” and that the city cannot proceed with the hospital project without addressing capacity.
Fry said staff are moving from evaluation of collected data into an analysis phase to develop solutions and concepts and that any recommendation will be a city decision because the city maintains and operates the system. He said the city would present options and recommendations to the committee before implementing a solution.
Ending: Data analysis is in progress; staff will return with options for addressing lift-station capacity before moving forward with dependent development projects.
