136th Ave NE Water Inlet Station Project
ABOUT THE PROJECT: Planning for growth As Bellevue continues to grow, Bellevue Utilities has a program to expand the capacity of the City of Bellevue’s drinking water system. As part of this program, Bellevue Utilities plans to build a new water inlet station with underground vaults and pipes to draw water from the Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) supply line that is in the area as Bellevue gets its water from SPU.
The site for the new inlet station, vaults and connecting pipes is located on 136th Ave. NE just north of NE 8th St. The connection to the SPU supply line will be made at the intersection of 140th Ave. NE and NE 8th St. Additional pipes will be installed along NE 8th St. and connect to existing pipes at the intersection of NE 8th St. and 126th Ave. NE. See map below.

DESIGNING THE PROJECTField work activities will be completed on NE 8th St. and and 136th Ave. NE prior to project design. Field work will include surveying, utility locating, and geotechnical investigations (subsurface soil sampling).
The project team will conduct outreach at key milestones to inform the community about project updates, share design plans and what to expect during construction. Feedback that is received will be reviewed by the project team and considered during the decision-making processes and prior to construction.
PERMITTINGBellevue Utilities will go through a permitting process for approval of various permits required to construct the new water inlet station and associated water pipes. This includes a 60-day State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review of the project. The SEPA review will look at environmental impacts and potential measures to minimize impacts where possible.
