Concrete pours scheduled to begin this week at the Murray Basin CSO across from Lowman Beach Park have been postponed. King County contractors have tentatively rescheduled the first pour for the facility’s underground storage tank for Monday, January 5.

A second pour is planned for Thursday, January 8.

No work is planned for Thursday, January 1. Schedule updates will be provided as necessary.

On pour days, about 10 trucks an hour will deliver 2,000 cubic yards of concrete to the site— less than half the amount delivered daily for the pour in early December. The site will look as it did during those earlier pours. Concrete will be delivered to the site between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Two concrete pump trucks on the east side of the 7000 block of Beach Dr. S.W. will pump concrete into the hole. Crews may continue working in the tank area after 6 p.m. if necessary. Traffic delays and congestion can be expected near the project area on pour days.
