Central Kitsap Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project

This project will replace undersized, aging intake equipment at the Central Kitsap Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is located on the Brownsville Hwy., outside of the Keyport Naval Base. The upgrades will also bring the plant into compliance with WAC 173-308-205, which will start requiring, by 2012, the removal of inert material (mainly plastics) of a certain size from the wastewater stream.

The project elements include:

a) Headworks intake channels and equipment building
b) Influent flow measurement and isolation valves
c) Grit and screenings removal, washing, and compaction facilities
d) Inplant wastewater pump station
e) Vactor pump-out facilities
f) Septage receiving station
g) Biofilter for odor removal

The project was awarded to Stan Palmer Construction Nov. 10th at a construction bid price of $9.3 million. Services during construction are being provided by a team of Brown and Caldwell Engineers, URS Corp., and Kitsap County. Work is scheduled to be complete by September 2011.

Kingston Water Reclamation Study

A feasibility study for using reclaimed wastewater from the Kingston Wastewater Treatment Plant was completed in late 2010. The preferred proposal would be to discharge the reclaimed water into the existing wetlands near the site and let water drain naturally into Grover's Creek. The County is coordinating with the Suquamish Tribe to verify interest in using this water to enhance stream flow in the creek, benefitting the fisheries operation downstream.
