The ribbon cutting for the new Horizon View Wellhead Facility for the Lake Forest Park Water District was held on May 20, 2013.

Pump control building and storage tank

The project was constructed adjacent to the Horizon View Park in the City of Lake Forest Park, and has spanned over four years. Two wells were drilled and a 50,000 gallon storage tank and pump control building were constructed. As the project is located adjacent to the park, restoration within the site included improved trail access around Horizon View Park.

Manager Alan Kerley says that "Infrastructure is now in place and operable and official normal operation will commence upon State of Washington Department of Health approval."

King County Brightwater contributed $2 million and Lake Forest Park Water District contributed another $200,000 to assure customers a safe and secure water source. The Horizon View Wellhead project has been a cooperative initiative between Lake Forest Park Water District, King County, and Seattle Public Utilities.

The staff and commissioners of Lake Forest Park Water District enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the public and cooperating agencies.

The elected commissioners of Lake Forest Park Water District are Bill Donahue, David Hammond, and Eli Zehner.
