Residents invited to open house to view design of Packwood Sewer Project
Proposed Packwood Sewer Project phase one design.
CHEHALIS – You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about the design of the Packwood Sewer Project at an open house at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8 at the Packwood Community Hall, 12935 U.S. Highway 12 in Packwood.
The wastewater treatment plant and dispersal facility are proposed to be located on the northern portion of the former Hampton mill site. Pipes would run from the plant site along U.S. Highway 12 through the Packwood community to the Skate Creek Road and Snyder Road intersection. Service would also be extended east and west of the highway along Main Street, and east of the highway on both Tahoma and Willame Streets.
“This project, intended to service the Packwood community, will create short-term job opportunities during construction and long-term opportunities for ongoing facility operations,” said Mark Burch, Special Projects Manager for Lewis County Public Works. “Completion of the facility will not only serve the immediate needs of the community but will also support future commercial and residential growth in the community and it will be an important step toward allowing for more affordable housing options for people who live and work in Packwood.”
The open house will give citizens a chance to view the preliminary design and offer their opinion regarding the design which is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
