Pipeline Partnership Improves Environment In Northwest

Everett, WA - The key to pollution is dilution and environmentalists are applauding Everett Washington's deep-water outfall project for accomplishing just that. The state-of-the-art pipeline is a joint effort by the cities of Everett and Marysville along with Kimberly-Clark Paper Mill to dispose of their wastewater. The pipeline will carry the waste deep into Port Gardner Bay and replace the old discharge locations along the Snohomish River . City ratepayers and the paper mill will save more than $10 million on the project by sharing the construction costs but the big winner is the habitat of the bay and the salmon fishery of the river.
