In September 2003, the Washington State Legislature passed the Municipal Water Supply Efficiency Requirements Act.
The Water Efficiency Rule requires all municipal water suppliers to set water efficiency goals and provide annual
performance reports on achieving these goals to customers and the Washington State Department of Health.
The District has adopted the following water use efficiency goals:
• Achieve a reduction in water use per ERU of five percent by the year 2021, with the
average of years 2001 through 2005 as the base. This reduction will result
in an average demand reduction from 270 to 257 gallons per day per ERU by 2021.
• Increase awareness among all water users of the value and importance of conserving
water and of the methods available to achieve reductions in water use.
The goals were adopted on April 3, 2008. The District continues to fund education programs, print conservation tips in
our newsletters, have an increasing block rate structure, provide rebates for water efficient clothes washers, meter sources
and customer services, provide customer bills showing a consumption history, provide water conservation kits to our customers
and maintain a low leakage rate.
