Just Wondering April 29, 2021 (10:01 pm) I am confused. A 100 year old sewer pipe breaks; it’s near the bottom of Bonair pretty close to its junction with Alki; 1600 gallons of sewage gets to Puget Sound…. how?Leak discovered when “water” was seen running down Bonair… 1600 gallons of “sewage “ ran down the street level of Bonair… and jumped the curb of Alki… and ran down the steps off Alki to the Sound???Or did an underground river of sewage run from the leak location (several hundred feet from the Alki sea wall)… and seep into the Sound???… through the sea wall???I really don’t understand how a break in a sewer line a fair distance from Puget Sound gets sewage into the Sound… when there is no pipeline connection to the Sound from the Bonair sewer line. ....

Seattle Public Utilities: Shortly after 12 pm today, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) responded to a sewer overflow, caused by a blockage, into Puget Sound along Alki Beach and Bonair Dr. SW.
