Pasco to review 10-year water-system plan and water‑efficiency measures at March 9 workshop
Summary
Pasco’s March 9 workshop will include a presentation on drinking water use as part of a city water system plan update required every 10 years by Washington State; the city will review proposed water‑efficiency measures and take on 10 years of reporting responsibility.
The presenter of Pasco City Council in Focus said the council will open its March 9 workshop with a presentation on drinking water use as part of the city’s water system plan update.
The presenter said Washington State requires the water system plan be updated every 10 years and that the city must submit reports under the state’s water‑use efficiency rule. “We’ll start with a presentation on drinking water use as part of the city’s water system plan update,” the presenter said.
Why it matters: the plan and the water‑use efficiency rules aim to reduce demand on Washington’s water resources; the presenter framed the workshop item as the council’s opportunity to review proposed measures that would guide how Pasco manages residential and commercial water use for the next decade.
What the city will review: according to the program preview, city staff and consultants will present draft measures for drinking water‑use efficiency and a proposed reporting framework. The presenter said Pasco will be responsible for reporting on the plan for the next 10 years.
Next steps: the council will review the measures during the workshop; no formal vote or adoption was described in the preview, and the program did not specify a timeline for final adoption or required follow‑up actions.
