Environmental Services completed construction on Phase One and is designing Phase Two to install new pipes and repair aging sewers. These improvements protect health and the environment by reducing the risk of sewage releases to homes, businesses, and streets.
This project is finalizing the design of Phase Two. Phase One is complete.
Project Area
The map below illustrates the project area where sewer repairs will take place. This project is in the Overlook Neighborhood and is along N Going Street, N Greeley Avenue, N Humboldt Street, and N Delaware Street and Madrona Park in the Overlook Neighborhood.
Text Description of N Going and Greely Project Map
Phase One - N Delaware/Madrona Park
Schedule
Construction is complete.
Phase Two - N Going/Greeley/ Humboldt
The project team continues designing this portion and has made some changes that will reduce construction effects for neighbors living on N Humboldt Street. Upon closer inspection, the pipe is in better shape than expected. Environmental Services will use a trenchless method to repair a short section of pipe (about 160 feet) at the west end of Humboldt near Madrona Park instead of open trench construction between Madrona Park and Gay Avenue.
Work on N Greeley Avenue and N Going Street will take place at night. Environmental Services will pursue a noise permit and do additional outreach before night work begins. Phase Two construction is not anticipated to begin until fall of 2026 and may take a year and a half to complete the entire project.
Project Background
The existing sewer pipes are in very poor condition and at risk of failure. This project will feature six primary improvements in two phases:
Phase One - N Delaware/Madrona Park (COMPLETE):
- Pipe replacement southeast of Adidas from N Delaware in Madrona Park.
- Pipe repair along N Delaware next to Adidas, south of Alberta.
Phase Two - N Going/Greeley/Humboldt:
- Pipe abandonment along the Madrona Park bluff using grout to fill the pipe.
- New pipe installation in N Greeley using open trench excavation.
- Pipe repair in N Going between N Greeley and N Concord, using a trenchless method of repair.
- Pipe replacement along N Humboldt St from Adidas/Madrona Park moving east (160 ft) using a trenchless method.
