Background and Analysis:
The City of Olympia, in partnership with the LOTT Clean Water Alliance, offers several utility customers reclaimed water for irrigation uses. In 2005, the City entered into a "Class A Reclaimed Water Service Agreement" with the Department of Enterprise Services and the Port of Olympia. In 2016, a new service agreement template was developed and approved by the Department of Ecology and the Department of Health to replace the existing agreement. The new agreement incorporates updates to State and local regulations regarding reclaimed water.
In addition to updated regulations and terminology, the agreements reflect new minimum and maximum quantities allotted to each end user that is based on historic use and future expansion.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
None.
Options:
