Gunars Sreibers, Project Manager of the Brightwater wastewater treatment project, was honored by the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association (ELNA) at their meeting on June 19, 2012.

For six years, Gunars has made an annual presentation at the ELNA meetings, updating the group on the project, which runs along the northern boundary of the Echo Lake Neighborhood. The project is now completed through Shoreline.

The tunnel boring machine used on the Point Wells to Ballinger leg of the tunnel was Elizabeth, the only machine with a female name. Elizabeth ran flawlessly and ended up completing a second leg of the tunnel to take over for another machine which was stuck under Lake Forest Park.

The Echo Lake board thanked Gunars for his cooperation, communication, and six years of interesting presentations.
