Ronald Wastewater District kicked off a series of community outreach and education meetings at a luncheon on May 13 for leaders from all of the neighborhoods served by the District.  The event was held in the new Ronald Wastewater District garage adjacent to the District office.  “This is the kick-off to our community meetings,” said District Commission President Brian Carroll, “and an Open House for this great new facility.”

Twenty-eight leaders attended the meeting, representing 11 neighborhoods: Ballinger, Briarcrest, Echo Lake, Innis Arden, Highland Terrace, Hillwood, Meridian Park, North City, Richmond  Beach, Richmond Highlands, and Ridgecrest. 

The purpose of the neighborhood outreach meetings is to inform community members about capital projects in each neighborhood and to respond to neighbors’ interests and questions related to the District’s mission and operations.  On May 13, Carroll and District Manager Michael U. Derrick gave attendees an overview of completed, upcoming and planned projects in each of the 13 neighborhoods served by the District. 

Additionally, Carroll talked about the District’s sixty year history of service in the community and its commitment to environmental and financial stewardship.  He reminded attendees that they are important partners with Ronald Wastewater District in keeping the environment clean.  Proper disposal and use of sewer lines, appropriate landscaping, and keeping prescription drugs out of sewer lines are all ways neighbors can help keep the waters in Puget Sound clean.  By planning ahead and keeping the District’s infrastructure well maintained, the District keeps leakage into and out of sewer pipeline to a minimum.  At the District’s request and with the assistance of Rep. Ruth Kagi , the State Attorney General’s office recently offered its opinion that Ronald Wastewater District can replace private side sewers in its service area, further reducing unwanted inflow and infiltration in the pipeline.  This work is now underway.  Find information on this and other capital projects in your neighborhood here.

The following is the current meetings schedule:
More neighborhoods and meetings will be added in the weeks and months to come. Watch your neighborhood association calendar for meeting details, check back to our website, or call the District at 206-546-2494 for more information. (Neighborhood website links will open in a new browser window)
