College St and Yelm Hwy Super T Pavement Rehabilitation
Update 9/10/19
Paving on Yelm Highway between College Street and the Chehalis Western Trail has been tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday, September 11. Paving on Yelm Highway between Ruddell Road and Parkside Drive has been tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday, September 11, and/or Thursday, September 12.
If work on Yelm Highway (west end) is completed early enough tomorrow, the contractor will move over to the east end and start paving this section as well.
For both areas of work, Yelm Highway will be open, but traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction, so major delays are expected, and access to Yelm Highway from side streets and driveways will be closed at times.
Description
The College St and Yelm Hwy Water and Overlay projects provides for an asphalt overlay of College St from Mullen Rd to Rainier Rd and Yelm Hwy from city limit lines on the west to Ruddell Rd. In addition, curb ramps along this route will be upgraded and new medians will be installed. Work will begin in June.

Lift Station 2 Replacement Project, Westlake Drive SE
Update 7/5/19
Paving is complete. Please contact the City if any restoration work was not completed to your satisfaction.
Project Description
Lift Station #2 located on Westlake Drive SE in Lacey needs to be replaced. It is the oldest wastewater lift station in the City, constructed in 1970, and has exceeded its life expectancy. There are also issues with limited site access and safety restrictions. The City has purchased property on Westlake Drive SE to construct the new wastewater lift station. The building was demolished and the property cleared for the new wastewater lift station. The City advertised for bids on the lift station and sewer improvements. The City has awarded the construction contract to Pape & Sons Construction of Gig Harbor, WA.
If you have any questions or concerns during construction, please contact the project inspector, Keven Inman at 360-239-0333 or the Construction Manager, Aubrey Collier at 360-438-2639.

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.
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 CCGE. 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. We are currently in the design phase of this project and anticipate construction to take place in 2020. Please contact Linsey Fields at 360-486-8707 or lfields@ci.lacey.wa.us if you have any questions.
