Project Long Description. This project improves water quality in the Snoqualmie River through the design and construction of a pump station and closed reservoir to store and separate reclaimed water supplied by the City’s existing Water Reclamation Facility in Snoqualmie, Washington. This project maintains water quality of Class A reclaimed water and complies with the City’s NPDES permit and the Reclaimed Water Rule. The City owns and operates a Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) that supplies Class A reclaimed water. Following enhanced sand filtration and ultraviolet light disinfection, reclaimed water is currently pumped to a lined storage pond referred to as the Eagle Lake non-restricted recreational impoundment. The reclaimed water is stored in Eagle Lake as irrigation supply for City-supplied customers and the Snoqualmie Ridge Golf Course (Golf Course). City customers are supplied irrigation water from the City-owned irrigation pump station located near Eagle Lake. The Golf Course irrigation system is owned and operated by the Golf Course and is separate from City operations. The WRF and distribution system were constructed in 1998-1999 in compliance with the 1997 Water Reclamation and Reuse Standards in effect at the time. In 2018, the Reclaimed Water Rule (Chapter 173-219 Washington Administrative Code) went into effect and updated the standard for reclaimed water in Washington State. Under the new rule, deficiencies in the distribution system were noted, including the potential for urban stormwater runoff to degrade the reclaimed water stored in Eagle Lake. In 2021, Ecology issued the City’s updated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (No. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), which included additional requirements for the City’s reclaimed water system based on the2018 Reclaimed Water Rule. Alternatives to upgrade the distribution system , were evaluated in, “Reclaimed Water Distribution System Engineering Report”, dated October 2023, prepared by RH2 Engineering, Inc., and approved by Ecology December 12, 2023. Storage of reclaimed water in a closed reservoir was the recommended alternative. During preliminary design activities, the existing irrigation pump station was evaluated with results presented in a, Reclaimed Water Irrigation Pump Station Technical Memorandum, dated August 1, 2024, and prepared by RH2 Engineering, Inc. The evaluation recommends replacement of the existing irrigation pump station, which is 25 years old, in poor condition, and requires major structural improvements to connect to the new reservoir. A new irrigation pump station adjacent to the new reclaimed water reservoir is recommended and has been incorporated into the project
