Its Time to Update the Citys Water Conservation Master Plan

Spokane officials announced plans to update the Water Conservation Master Plan, which was adopted in 2020 to guide sustainable water management. The plan outlines various conservation activities aimed at reducing demand while minimizing customer impact. Improvements to the water system, including enhanced meter accuracy and tiered rate structuring, will be evaluated as part of this update. The Water Department aims to engage the community for feedback as it revises the plan, which will be assessed every five years to adapt to new technologies and changing priorities. Engaging residents will help shape effective conservation strategies that are responsive to local needs.

The city encourages public participation to identify ways to minimize water waste and protect the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
