Experts examine the 'science' of sewage The Metropolitan King County Council is hosting a panel of seven experts for the next three days to review a proposed long-range wastewater treatment plan. The panel is made up of professionals from the fields of demographics, economics, utility management, government regulation, engineering, wastewater technology, and environmental analysis. It was convened at the request of the council in partnership with the King County executive. The plan was recommended by the executive and has received approval by the council's Regional Water Quality Committee. The plan calls for the construction of a new treatment plant in north King or south Snohomish County and numerous upgrades to existing facilities.
