This article discusses Tacoma (Washington) Water's Second Supply Project (SSP) that involved installing a new 34 mile long steel transmission water main and a new chemical feed facility, improvements to Tacoma's Green River diversion facilities, adding additional water storage capacity behind the Howard Hanson Dam, and numerous environmental enhancement projects. This article discusses the hydraulic considerations associated with the new pipeline and the water quality and aesthetic issues in preparation for distributing the new blended supplies to customers.
