Area Q Phase IV Storm Sewer
The City of Kent has been constructing a storm sewer system to alleviate
flooding, which currently occurs during heavy rainfall in the southwest section
of Kent, known as Drainage Area Q. The alphabetical designation of "Q" refers to
a 152-acre drainage boundary that has been identified in a comprehensive
drainage master plan.
The first phase of the Area Q project was the creation of a storm water
detention basin that was constructed in 2004, behind the former West Side Market
east of Garrett Street. The second phase, constructed in 2005, provided the
outlet sewer for the detention basin; across West Main Street, north on
Spaulding and ending at Fish Creek. Storm sewer improvements have been installed
for the third phase along portions of Deidrick Road, Louise Street, Irma Street,
Parmalee Street, and Garrrett Street.
The fourth phase of the project will route storm water from Overbrook,
Brentwood, Laurel and Chelton to the new detention basin. This area is
characterized by local street and property flooding due to the inadequate
capacity and lack of roadside drainage.
The proposed improvements will include the construction of storm sewer
ranging in size from 8 to 42 inches, catch basins, manholes, roof drain
connections, and drive apron and pavement replacement. The current roadway is a
chip and seal surface that will be restored in kind upon completion of the
project. Storm water will be directed to the Area Q Detention Basin (constructed
in 2004) which outlets to Fish Creek.
This project is being funded in part
through the City of Kent Storm Water Utility Fund, Issue II Grant, and property
owner assessments.
Project Status:
- Detailed plans are complete
- Engineering currently preparing construction
specifications and bid documents
- Anticipate construction advertisement in June 2008
- Working with utility companies to coordinate
relocations prior to construction
- Construction notification with site plans will be
sent to property owners in June 2008
