Website created by Jason Hall and Joe Brucklier, June 2003 rge (0.82 cubic meters per second)(USGS 2003 (b)), Hylebos Creek drains into the Hylebos Waterway, providing yet another source of freshwater. Commencement Bay also receives the effluent of a large municipal wastewater treatment plant. This treatment facility discharges an average of 91 million liters of secondarily treated wastewater per day. The discharge pipe of this plant is located 366 m into Commencement Bay at a depth of about 36.5 m (City of Tacoma 2002).
