Renovation of a water / sewer project in Anacortes, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The Incinerator reactor vessel is 32 years old and the external shell and internal refractory are requiring repair with increasing frequency. The shell of the reactor has thinned to critical levels in large sections and has already burned through in several. A complete rehabilitation of the reactor will be necessary if Incineration remains a long-term plan. $200,000 is proposed for creation of a rehabilitation plan in 2024, and $2,000,000 is proposed for the actual work to be conducted in 2026. This specific proposal is a newly identified priority which has been accelerated based on recent repairs and surveys. As of April 25, 2025, this project is included in the city's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. Funding is allotted for FY 2025 and 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
