Starting later this month and throughout the summer, crews will be conducting night work at West Point Treatment Plant. While this overnight work won’t be noisy, neighbors may occasionally see more lights coming from West Point Treatment Plant at night. That’s our crew hard at work!
This work is for the Effluent Pump Station (EPS) project. The EPS pushes treated wastewater through the outfall pipe into Puget Sound, and this project will help improve system reliability.
The new West Point Treatment Plant manager, Julio Rodriguez.
We are thrilled to introduce you to Julio Rodriguez, our new West Point Treatment Plant manager. Julio joined King County Wastewater Treatment Division in 2016 through the Operator-in-Training (OIT) Program. After completing the program, he earned a position on one of West Point’s crews. He later advanced to Senior Operator and then Crew Supervisor. He was the first OIT alum to become a supervisor! Now, with this latest promotion, Julio is the first OIT alum to serve as a plant manager.

Our sustainability upgrades are saving energy and money across the wastewater system. We recently received $5.2 million in savings through federal and local incentives. The funding is tied to clean energy investments completed at West Point in 2024. This means borrowing less money for critical upgrades, lowering long-term costs, and supporting King County’s Strategic Climate Action Plan goals.
