The project involved raising the 152-foot diversion dam by 6.5 feet so that Tacoma Water could increase its capacity in northern Pierce and southern King counties. It also involved construction of a new intake structure with associated control gates and trash rack.
A traveling debris screen was constructed downstream of the dam along with a fish screen facility. Also, a fish ladder and holding and sorting structure were built to trap fish for transportation upstream to spawn. |
