Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Program

In 2003, the Washington State Legislature passed the Municipal Water Supply – Efficiency Requirements Act, otherwise known as the Municipal Water Law. Under the rules, utilities are required to develop a WUE Program for approval of comprehensive water system plans and for issuance of water right permits. The water use efficiency rule requires water suppliers to:

  • Establish water saving goals through a public process
  • Install service meters within 10 years
  • Meet a distribution system leakage standard of 10 percent
  • Develop a WUE program
  • Evaluate or implement WUE measures to manage water use
  • Report annually, by July 1, on progress towards meeting goals and using water efficiently

The City is committed to ensuring its water resources are used efficiently to protect and preserve the community's high quality of life for current residents and generations to come. In keeping with this commitment, the City employs a comprehensive approach to water use efficiency that combines water system design, engineering, and operations with community education and outreach. The City's WUE Program activities affect thousands of its water utility customers annually. The program engages incentives that encourage wise water use and utilizes technologies and processes associated with City activities to improve water savings.
