PORT TOWNSEND — Workers for the city of Port Townsend will close off the intersection of Water and Gaines streets for approximately two months beginning today.
The intersection is at the southwest end of Water Street and the southeast end of Gaines Street, south of Sims Way.
The closure will allow the installation of a new liner in the wet well of the Gaines Street pump station.
The station conveys wastewater from downtown Port Townsend to the sewage treatment plant.
During the replacement, work crews will place temporary pumps in the street, necessitating the closure.
Business access will remain open during the project, as will the sidewalks on the north side of Water Street and the east side of Gaines Street, according to a press release from the city.
