Spokane River Flows Meet Level 2 Drought Response
Spokane River levels have fallen below 1,000 cubic feet per second, activating Level 2 watering restrictions under a 2022 conservation ordinance. Residents must limit outdoor watering to two days per week and avoid watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to protect the river and the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
