From Septic Woes to Success: Jacobs Develops Innovative Wastewater Solution for King County’s Fall City
After 40 years of septic problems, Fall City’s business district is finally getting relief. A shared drain field, funded by almost $9 million from Washington State and Federal American Rescue Plan grants, will replace aging septic tanks. The system uses pre-treatment devices and pumps to treat wastewater, turning it into sub-surface irrigation for a nearby park. The project was so successful, the Fall City Waste Management System was awarded the King County 2023 Best-Run Government Innovation Award for Climate and Environmental Stewardship.
