Making the invisible visible. While most sewage treatment plants are invisible to their communities
and separated by a chain link fence, the LOTT Clean Water Alliance Regional Service Center is a
visible and active participant in the public life of Washington's capital city. The LOTT Clean Water
Alliance provides both Class A reclaimed water and emphasizes water conservation through a strong
community outreach program, in addition to providing wastewater treatment services to 85,000
people in four local communities. The new facility, located on the site of their existing Budd Inlet
Treatment Plant, brings all management and staff together in one location. The facility includes
three major elements: a renovated 7,700 SF water quality laboratory, a new 21,300 SF office, and a
3,500 SF education and technology center that is the physical manifestation of their education programs.
