Capitol City Golf Club Estates Water and Sewer Improvements
Update 5/6/20
The first phase of the project has been awarded to South Sound Contractors of Lacey, Washington. Construction is scheduled to begin on May 11, 2020, and anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2021.
Frequently Asked Questions
Due to changes in fire suppression standards over the years, the City of Lacey must replace the water lines in Capitol City Golf Club Estates with larger diameter lines. This will provide an adequate amount of water flow from the hydrants for firefighting. The City of Lacey is also designing a sewer line to serve the area. In 2006, the City observed nitrate concentrations increase in drinking water from Well #4 (located on West Sarazen SE). City staff believes the increase is primarily due to inadequately treated wastewater effluent from on-site septic systems.
This project will be completed in two phases over two years. Currently the first phase, which includes properties on the east side of CCGCE, has been sent out for bids. Bidding will open February 11th and a contract will be awarded on February 27th. We anticipate construction to start in spring of 2020. Please contact Linsey Fields at 360-486-8707 or lfields@ci.lacey.wa.us if you have any questions.

Work is complete on the Depot structure. Opening will occur once playground work is complete and Stay Home, Stay Healthy orders are lifted.
This project provides for construction of a two story wood framed structure closely matching the original 1894 Northern Pacific Railway depot design that once stood near this site. Great care and craftsmanship will be taken to build a quality replica illustrating Lacey’s early history. The structure will be utilized as a trail amenity containing toilet rooms, picnic area, and associated spaces. J.A.M. Construction from Olympia, Washington, is the construction contractor on this project.
In partnership with the Lacey Rotary, work on the site also includes a new train-themed play structure. The play area will be fully fenced and located next to the Depot and Lacey Woodland Trail. The play area will be the first in Lacey to utilize a fully accessible play surface for all park users. KBH Construction Co. from Olympia, Washington, is the construction contractor on this project.
Washington State Department of Transportation will build a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at I-5, Exit 111 and SR 510 in Lacey. It will be the first DDI built in Washington. The project started in the fall of 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2020.

The City of Lacey and Thurston County are partners on the Mullen Road Improvements project to reconstruct a 0.9 mile section of Mullen Road SE from the Lacey City Limits to Carpenter Road. As part of this project, a roundabout is being proposed at the intersection of Mullen Road and Carpenter Road. The project is currently being designed and scheduled for construction in 2019. Thurston County is the lead agency on this project. For more information, please visit Thurston County's website.
The existing on-site reservoir is in need of structural repairs including a new interior and exterior coating. Repairing the existing reservoir without a back-up reservoir on the site would cause water flow and pressure concerns in the area, including a lack of commercial fire flow. The City had an evaluation report prepared by a consultant that identified three possible solutions to provide water when the existing reservoir was off-line. The proposed reservoir was the best economical and engineered solution. Construction is expected to run from February 2021 to December 2021.
