The Snoqualmie Tribe will contribute approximately $6.6 million in funding to expand treatment capacity of the SWRF and provide for the General Facilities Charges (GFCs) set forth in the City’s adopted sewer rate plan. This agreement follows months of collaborative negotiations by government representatives and helps solidify a positive relationship between the City and Tribe. The Snoqualmie Casino is currently the largest customer of the Snoqualmie Water Reclamation Facility (SWRF). This agreement will provide additional sewer treatment service to the surrounding community as well as any potential future hotel expansion to the existing Snoqualmie Casino. The Snoqualmie City Council and Snoqualmie Indian Tribal Council approved an amendment to the sewer utility service agreement, originally signed in 2004. The City of Snoqualmie and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe signed a momentous infrastructure agreement that will support both the City’s and Tribe’s future economic development goals.
