City of Spokane adopted its Water Conservation Master Plan in 2020. The Conservation Plan provides goals, targets, strategies and actions to conserve our water supply and to sustainably manage it for future generations. The variety of water conservation activities provides an opportunity to reduce demand while minimizing customer impact and have been selected based on their pumping reduction potential for a reasonable cost.
Water system operation improvements to reduce distribution system loss, to improve meter accuracy, and to utilize tiered rate structuring are included in the City of Spokane Water System Plan. The Water Conservation Master Plan builds on those strategies, focusing on utility sponsored programs that help the community reduce its water use.
As our community’s priorities shift, technologies change, and new knowledge is revealed, the plan is scheduled to be updated every five years to keep pace with changing needs. City of Spokane’s Water Department is beginning the evaluation process and will be engaging with the community for feedback and ideas. We hope you’ll weigh in!
Stay tuned and look for ways to learn more about how we can minimize water waste and keep the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer healthy!
