SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background
Staff is requesting authorization to submit Public Works Board financing applications for
two wastewater projects: initial assessment of the Monroe Street Lift Station and the
Holcomb and Wilson Sewer Upsizing Project.
The projects address different parts of the City’s wastewater system and will be
separately managed and accounted for. They are included in one Council action
because both are eligible sewer infrastructure priorities within the current Public Works
Board funding cycle.
Holcomb and Wilson Sewer Upsizing
The Holcomb and Wilson Sewer Upsizing Project addresses an existing capacity
limitation in the gravity sewer system between the Rainier Subarea and the downstream
interceptor near Safeway.
The existing sewer is not large enough to reliably convey projected flows from the Mill
Road Lift Station and future development. The project will replace and relocate the
undersized sewer with a larger gravity sewer, providing the downstream capacity
needed before the new lift station becomes operational.
On March 3, 2025, Council approved Agenda Bill AB25-023 and authorized an initial
project budget of $1.34 million. At that time, the project was at an early stage of design
and the alignmenthad not been fully developed.
As design advanced, staff and the City’s engineering consultant evaluated the original
sewer alignment and identified significant concerns with construction near private
residences, deep excavation, future maintenance access, and the available elevation
difference to the downstream sewer connection.
The City selected a revised alignment that intercepts the sewer farther west and places
the new sewer within City right-of-way under Cleveland Street and along the north side
of Sims Way.
The revised alignment:
Avoids construction beneath or immediately adjacent to private residences;
Keeps the new sewer within public right-of-way;
Improves the elevation available for gravity flow;
Reduces deep excavation and property-access risks;
Provides better access for future inspection and maintenance; and
Reduces the potential for property damage, claims, and construction delays.
The alignment change added approximately 250 feet of sewer replacement compared
with the original route evaluated during early stages of preliminary design.
When Council authorized design in March 2025, the project was intended to address all
of Capital Improvement Project SM1 and a portion of SM3 from the 2024 General
Sewer Plan. However, the original $1.34 million project budget was based on the
planning-level estimate for SM1. The previous agenda bill noted that additional funding
could be necessary because the project also included a portion of SM3.
As design advanced, the total project scope increased from approximately 786 linear
feet, the General Sewer Plan length for SM1, to approximately 2410 linear feet The
expanded scope includes the revised alignment, the portion of SM3, a small section of
SM6 beneath Cleveland Street, and the sewer beneath Holcomb Street from 7th to 10th
Street. The SM6 and Holcomb Street segments were included because of their
proximity to the planned work and the efficiency of replacing them as part of the same
construction project.
The project also includes approximately 300 feet of water-main replacement where the
water system is directly affected by the revised sewer alignment.
Completing this work with the sewer project will reduce utility conflicts and avoid
returning later to excavate a newly restored street. Water-related work will be tracked
separately and paid from the appropriate water utility funding source.
thth
Holcomb Street from 7to 10Street - Banked Capacity Improvements
In addition, staff also proposes including the Holcomb Street Banked Capacity project
between 7th Street and 10th Street with the project. The City’s Banked Capacity
program uses property tax revenue that became available after residents approved
joining East Jefferson Fire & Rescue. Council directed much of this funding toward local
capital improvements, especially street and drainage projects.Holcomb Street was
previously identified for street and drainage improvements as a Banked Capacity project
back in 2023.
Because the Banked Capacity project is immediately adjacent to the sewer work,
combining the projects is expected to reduce costs and neighborhood impacts through
one contractor mobilization, coordinated pavement work, fewer road closures, and less
risk ofexcavating newly completed improvements. It will also make more efficient use of
City inspection and project-management resources.
The Banked Capacity work will remain separate from the sewer project for accounting
purposes. Sewer funds will pay only for sewer work and restoration required by sewer
construction, while Banked Capacity or other appropriate funds will pay for the
additional street and drainage improvements.
With the revised alignment and additional sewer segments associated with SM3 and
SM6, the current estimated cost of the Holcomb and Wilson Sewer Upsizing Project is
approximately $2.90 million, compared with the original Council authorization of $1.34
million.
Water-main replacement and Banked Capacity street and drainage improvements will
be separately tracked and charged to the appropriate funding sources. This will ensure
that sewer funds are used only for eligible sewer improvements and associated
restoration.
Construction is currently anticipated to begin in Fall 2026.
Monroe Street Lift Station
The Monroe Street Lift Station serves much of Downtown and Uptown Port Townsend
and pumps wastewater into the force-main system that ultimately conveys flow toward
the Gaines Street Lift Station and wastewater treatment facility. Council has previously
received information about the station through the Water Street Sewer Replacement
Project and the Lawrence Street Combined Sewer Separation Project.
The 2024 General Sewer Plan identifies the Monroe Street Lift Station as the only
existing City lift station that does not have adequate firm pumping capacity. The
station’s firm capacity was estimated at approximately 857 gallons per minute,
compared with an estimated existing peak-hour flow of approximately 990 gallons per
minute. During major wet-weather events, all three pumps may be required to operate,
leaving no pump available as a redundant standby unit.
The Water Street Sewer Replacement Project extended the Monroe Street force main
and included interim improvements intended to increase pumping capacityto 1010
gallons per minute. Those improvements help address immediate needs but do not
eliminate the need to evaluate a long-term solution. The General Sewer Plan concluded
that increasing pumping capacity alone would not fully resolve the station’s capacity
deficiency.
A significant portion of the station’s peak wet-weather flow is associated with
stormwater entering the sanitary sewer from Lawrence Street. The Lawrence Street
project is intended to remove those inflows and reduce the load on the lift station.
For that reason, the General Sewer Plan recommends completing the Lawrence Street
separation project and monitoring flows for at least two years before finalizing the size
and design of the Monroe Street Lift Station upgrade. This will allow the City to
determine how much permanent pumping capacity is actually needed after stormwater
inflow is removed.
The General Sewer Plan also identifies a long-term vulnerability associated with the
station’s low coastal location. It recommends evaluating relocation or elevation of the
station to reduce the risk that access hatches and electrical or mechanical equipment
could be affected by future coastal flooding and sea-level rise. The plan carried a
preliminary future improvement cost of approximately $5 million, but that estimate was
prepared before detailed assessment or alternatives analysis. With 3% inflation and
assuming construction is in 2029, the total project costs would be $6 million
Proposed Monroe Street Initial Assessment
Capital Improvement Project(CIP) shall include repairs and replacements of pump
motors, pump impellers (replaced during the Water Street Sewer Replacement Project),
telemetry unit replacement, valve overhauls, panel replacements, generator
replacements, force main repairsand cleaning, and other minor improvements to keep
the existing lift station operating reliably.
The estimated cost of the Monroe Street Lift Station planning and pre-construction
assessment is $780,000.
This work will establish an updated cost for improvements to the lift station.
Funding Strategy Summary
The updated Holcomb and Wilson Sewer Upsizing Project budget is approximately
$2.90 million. This includes design and permitting, construction, City project
management, construction contingency, and the City’s 1% for the Arts requirement.
Staff proposes funding the project with approximately $2.17 million in Public Works
Board financing and $725,000 in City matching funds. In simple terms, Public Works
Board financing would cover approximately two-thirds of the project in the form of a low
rate interest loan, and existing City funds would provide the remaining one-third.
The proposed City match would consist of:
$300,000 in Sewer System Development Charges for sewer-related project costs
$225,000 from the Water Utility for water main and related utility work; and
$200,000 from the Banked Capacity program for additional street and drainage
improvements.
These funding sources will be separately tracked and used only for eligible costs
associated with their respective portions of the project.
The proposed funding for the Monroe Street Lift Station planning and pre-construction
assessment cost is $780,000 consisting of $624,000 in Public Works Board financing
and $156,000 in City matching funds.
Staff therefore proposes applying to the Public Works Board for a combined financing
amount not to exceed $2,800,000, consisting of:
$2,169,000 for remaining eligible design and construction costs for the Holcomb
and Wilson Sewer Upsizing Project; and
$624,000 for the Monroe Street Lift Station for Planning and Pre-Construction
Authorization to apply commitsthe City tofinancing. If funding is awarded, staff will
return to Council with the final loan terms, repayment requirements, updated project
budgets, and any necessary budget amendments before accepting the awards.
Next Steps
Following Council authorization, staff will:
Finalize the scope and cost included in the financing application;
Submit the Public Works Board application;
Return to Council for approval of any financing agreements;

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of Port Townsend is continuing to advance the Mill
Road Lift Station Sewer project to service Evans Vista and the
Urban Growth Area near the Caswell Brown neighborhood.
The project has been funded with CHIP and EPA funding with
support of our State and Federal delegation. Total funding for
the project secured equates to approximately $4.1 Million.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the County solidifies
the opportunity to locate the lift station on lands currently owned by the County. The
MOU contemplates acquisition of property and or easements following due process
required when public agencies work together. The city consultants are finishing
environmental review for the proposed infrastructure as shown in the exhibit included as
an attachment to this MOU. Upon completion of the environmental review and approval
of this MOU, staff will begin the acquisition process.
The highlights of the MOU include acknowledgement of past work and common
interests in providing sewer to this area. The MOU also recognizes that sewer
extension to Glen Cove is a future discussion subject to Growth Management and
planning process and decisions by both the City and the County. Regardless of those
future outcomes, the location of the sewer lift station is planned for the lowest elevation
in the UGA to maximize sewer availability to lands withing the UGA.
Under the Growth Management Act, cities are responsible for planning of infrastructure
to serve the UGA. This project is effectively implementation of this planning coincident
with providing critical infrastructure necessary for the Evans Vista Development.
If approved, this MOU will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for their
consideration. The MOU may have minor edits upon legal review. If substantive edits
result, the MOU will return for Council consideration.
Staff recommendsauthorizing the City Manager to sign the MOU and forward to the
County Commissioners for their consideration.
