Lakeland Hills Pump Station replacement
The Lakeland Hills Pump Station Replacement Project will replace the aging Lakeland Hills Pump Station and build a new facility in Auburn to upgrade sewer services in south King County.
Project description
King County owns and operates the Lakeland Hills Pump Station. King County will replace the aging Lakeland Hills Pump Station and build a new facility in Auburn to upgrade sewer services in south King County. The Lakeland Hills Pump Station is an important part of King County’s connected systems of pipes and pumps. The pump station moves sewage from homes, schools, and businesses in the Auburn area to South Treatment Plant in Renton to be treated, eventually sending it off safely into the Puget Sound. Replacing the pump station will prevent sewage overflows and help serve the growing population of Auburn for many years.

Thank you for providing input on the siting questionnaire!
We heard it was important to:
- Consider environmental impacts when choosing the new pump station location.
- Maintain park access during and after construction.
- Minimize noise and odor disruptions during construction.
- Incorporate native wildlife habitat or other greenery into the design of the new pump station.
- Design the pump station to last a long time.
The project team is currently evaluating potential site locations. Once a site is selected, we will notify the public. We expect to have a site selected by late 2024.
