King County was fined $105,500 for violating sewer overflow standards in 2017 and 2018.

The Washington State Department of Ecology announced Wednesday it will receive half the fine. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will also receive part of the fine.

King County exceeded pollutant limits 18 times during the last two years at four combined sewer overflow treatment plants at Alki, Carkeek, Henderson/Norfolk, and Mercer/Elliott West.

Combined sewer overflow treatment facilities offer primary sewage treatment by settling solids, disinfection, and dechlorination.
