Puyallup City Council approved a sewer upgrade project to replace 5,665 feet of outdated pipe along 9th Avenue SW and 5th Street SW. The project, issued August 26, 2026, will replace pipes beneath roadways between 14th Street SW and S Meridian.

Residents may see construction work begin later this year. The city aims to prevent sewage backups and overflows that can occur with aging infrastructure. Public comments on the project are due by September 9, 2026.

The project is part of Puyallup's ongoing efforts to modernize aging utility systems. The city has not specified a cost or timeline for completion in the public record.
