Region exceeds water conservation goal

According to a notice from the PSRC (Puget Sound Regional Council) regional water usage is down 14 percent over the past four weeks.

In response to record breaking warm and dry weather this year, Everett, Seattle and Tacoma asked over 2 million customers to cut water use by 10 percent in August.

Efforts are underway by the regional Water Supply Forum to beef up resiliency planning for events like drought.
