As soon as Wednesday, December 10, crews will begin work to repair the remaining section of the M Street Trunk sewer pipe in the Zone 18 work site. Crews will set up equipment at maintenance holes at the three staging areas on M Street between 1st Street Northeast and 3rd Street Southeast on December 10 and 11. Please note that this work is dependent on the weather and is subject to change.
Additional maintenance hole repair work on M Street from 2nd Street Northeast to 3rd Street Southeast is expected to continue through mid-January.
This work will take about two days to complete and will be done on weekdays from 9 am to 3 pm, starting Wednesday, December 10. Nearby neighbors should expect noise from trucks and construction equipment.
See the map below for details. We have also created an interactive construction map, which you can find by visiting: kingcounty.gov/MStreetTrunkRehab. This map will show active construction updates for Zones 18, 24, and part of Zone 30 during 2025.

The King County Wastewater Treatment Division is repairing approximately 2.6 miles of old concrete sewer pipe, ranging in size from 18 to 36 inches wide, in Auburn. We will also fix 45 maintenance holes and over 100 side sewer connections to homes and businesses. Rehabilitating the M Street Trunk will help preserve aging infrastructure and ensure the reliability of our regional wastewater system.
Construction is disruptive. King County’s goal is to complete construction efficiently to minimize disruptions to the community.
