Israel Road - Linderson Way Water Main

Current Activities

All water services have been completely transferred from the old water main to the new one, and trench and surface restorations are underway. Puget Sound Energy is nearing completion of converting overhead power to underground on Israel Road, and other private utility companies are expected to complete all their reconnections by end of July.

In August, construction begins on planned improvements to sidewalk and bicycle facilities. The full repaving of Israel Road will take place at the completion of this phase.

The Israel Road and Linderson Way Water Main Replacement Project will replace 4,700 linear feet of water main ahead of the City’s Pedestrian & Bicycle Improvement project scheduled for 2024.

The project entails installing new water main on Israel Road from I-5 to Capitol Boulevard, and on Linderson Way from Israel Road to the Department of Labor and Industries building. Other work will includes:

• Connecting new water main to existing lines

• Removing and replacing sidewalks
• Repairing pavement and installing striping
