When we have a new tentative date, we will send out another e-mail notification as well as update the City website and PCMS boards accordingly.

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.

While the pandemic in our State has created a forecast of uncertainty, we anticipate that Active Construction will be able to proceed as scheduled. This project is considered essential public infrastructure and construction will not be put on hold. In an effort to limit any interaction between the construction crews, we are asking that you call the City Inspector if you have any questions or concerns. Please do not approach the construction crews or City Inspector if possible, and if you must speak in person please follow the recommended 6-ft distancing guidelines.


Please be aware that you will have access to your homes but there will be times when construction may limit access or cause delays. For everyone's safety please use alternate routes around construction zones whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions


2021 Slurry Seal

7/15 UPDATE


Please see the updated maps below. Concerns of residents being land locked are taken care of by shifting limits slightly.

 

Project Description

As part of the 2021 Slurry Seal project, several neighborhoods (Emerald Heights, Lake Hills, Sunset View Estates, Thornbury Meadows, Pattison Park, Lakepointe, Echo Glen, Sterling Pointe) in the southern part of Lacey will have their roadways sealed. The seal coat is called a slurry seal. Slurry seal is an asphalt and aggregate mix that helps protect the existing asphalt. It is a cost effective way to protect the City's roadway and provides for a new appearing and smooth riding surface.

   

Portions of neighborhoods will have roadway closures for a period of time, although throughout the installation there will be alternate routes to enter and exit these areas.

   

The project will begin on Tuesday, July 13th and will take around 1.5 weeks to complete, weather dependent. Residents will experience road closures per the maps below from 7/13 to 7/20. (Click here for high resolution pdf maps)

  

During the application of the slurry, the road will be closed for one day, from 7am to 5pm. "No Parking" signs will be placed on your street 48 hours prior to starting work. Attempting to drive on the slurry before it has cured may cause damage to your vehicle as well as the roadway.

   

If you have any questions or concerns, please call Justin Knox at (360) 438-2628. If you have coordination issues, please contact Project Inspector David Weissenfluh at (360) 701-9015. Thank you for your patience and cooperation with this project.
