Site work for a water / sewer project in Mount Vernon, Washington. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This area is generally bordered by Fir Street on the North, 15th on the East, Blackburn Road on the South, and the Skagit River on the West, and consists of portions of the City developed prior to 1950. This is a phased program for planning, repair, replacement, and improvements of the Combined Sewer system. Phase 1 is development of a comprehensive plan establishing alternatives, cost estimates, and recommendations for Combined Sewer system improvements including rerouting storm to Kulshan Creek drainage system and reroute 15-inch combined to Central CSO Regulator. The 2009 cost estimate is based on sewer utility funding limitations as projected in the 2006 - 2009 Sewer Rate Review. Estimates on the total cost and phasing of work would be a product of a comprehensive engineering report. This project is included in the City of Mount Vernon's FY 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of March 16, 2023, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available.
