Washington state’s most populous county is set to pay more than $5 million to settle a threatened lawsuit from the over sewage spills that have overflowed from King County treatment plants into Puget Sound.
The facility is the largest sewage treatment plant in Washington and the third largest on the West Coast. The discharges added up to more than 6 million gallons. "The settlement agreement comes with a really strict timeline and methods for holding us accountable," Christie True, director of the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, said. "It enables us to say we have to get it done by this deadline."
