New Partner Joins Final Push at St. Mary Siphon Replacement Project

A major milestone at the St. Mary Siphon site: Northwest Linings joins the project to install key infrastructure that brings the system one step closer to flowing again…

Progress continues at the St. Mary Siphon replacement site, and this week brings another major step forward. Northwest Linings & Geotextile Products, Inc., based in Kent, Washington, has officially joined the project team—and they’re bringing essential expertise to the table.

The crew from Northwest Linings is on-site to install the inlet and outlet liners, a crucial component in preparing the system to carry water once again. Their work sets the stage for the next phase, as NW Construction will follow closely behind to cover the liners with material, completing this important section of the project.

This addition marks a major milestone as the entire team pushes toward the finish line. A huge thanks goes out to all the partners, crews, and contractors keeping things moving and ensuring water returns to the system as soon—and as safely—as possible.
