DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM<br />
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT<br />
Sewer<br />
Pierce County Public Works provides a sewer main from the southeast corner of campus to the<br />
west side of campus, roughly following the historic path of Clover Creek. PLU connects the<br />
campus sewer system consisting of individual building side sewers and sewer mains to the public<br />
sewer system within the campus. The capacity of the sewer mains should be adequate for any<br />
new development.<br />
Dry Utilities<br />
PLU has a network of underground utilities across campus. This includes phone, data and<br />
electrical power. In an initiative to expand the existing underground utilities, the <strong>University</strong><br />
completed construction of a fiber-optic duct bank that extends from the east side of the upper<br />
campus to the west side of the lower campus. Branches extend south to the Neeb Center.<br />
Natural gas service is provided by Puget Sound Energy. The <strong>University</strong> is served through four-inch<br />
main lines in the south, west and east portions of campus, and there are 12 meter locations for<br />
gas service. One location serves five heavy-use buildings (Rieke, Olson, Eastvold, Memorial Gym<br />
and the <strong>University</strong> Center). Future development may require relocating portions of the gas main.<br />
Electrical service to campus is provided by Parkland Light and Water.<br />

Existing Stormwater Infiltration, Treatment and Conveyance<br />
All stormwater is treated / infiltrated into the ground within the boundaries of the PLU campus.<br />
Stormwater runoff from the campus primarily travels directly into the ground or into dry wells.<br />
Recent developments such as Morken Center and Wheeler Parking Lot have centralized infiltration<br />
systems, and South Hall and the new Neeb Center site pipe runoff to an infiltration pond at the<br />
southeast corner of campus where two biofiltration swales provide water quality treatment and<br />
sediment removal. There are few stormwater conveyance mains on campus and conveyance is<br />
localized for each development.<br />
