Olympia's Water System Plan presents both a 50-year vision and a six-year plan for efficiently using regional water resources to ensure safe and sustainable drinking water for the City's growing needs.
The Plan is used by City staff to accomplish goals around efficient use and protection of current water supplies, to ensure future supplies, maintain a reliable water system infrastructure, and manage the Drinking Water Utility in a fiscally responsible manner.
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) requires the City to update this planning document every six years. DOH must approve the Plan for the City to be in compliance with water system planning requirements.
