Brightwater Treatment Plant

Brightwater is a regional sewage treatment plant in south Snohomish County, Washington, United States.

[5] Construction delays were incurred due to unexpected soil conditions causing damage to the boring machines.

[9] In December 2006, the project had resolved all its lawsuits and only needed building permits from Snohomish County.

However, concerns remain over the siting of the project, both from its future neighbors worried about the smells associated with sewage treatment and geologists due to at least one active fault line running through the site, and concerns over whether a new plant was necessary when eliminating stormwater and wastewater from the sewage system.

The $4.4 million acquisition was funded through the county One Percent for Art construction setaside program.
