The scope of improvements includes the installation of about 2,500 feet of new 8-inch and 12-inch sanitary sewer mains via open cut trenching along 248th Avenue SE, SE 433rd Street, and McHugh Avenue. These mains will connect to a future lift station to be constructed at the intersection of 248th Avenue SE and SE 433rd Street.

horizontal directionally drilled to avoid a known cultural artifact field.
