HomeMy WebLinkAbout4029-A 2025 WUE GOALS RESOLUTION NO. 4029-A
A RESOLUTION REGARDING ESTABLISHMENT OF WATER USE
EFFICIENCY GOALS FOR THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE
RECITALS:
1. In 2003, the Washington State Legislature passed the Municipal Water Supply Efficiency
Requirements Act (also known as the Municipal Water Law HB 1338) to address the increasing
demand on our state’s water resources to identify elements related to water rights, system
capacity, service area consistency, conservation, and education programs required in all
municipal water system plans.
2. HB 1338 included a directive for the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) to adopt goals
that establish water use efficiency (WUE) requirements for all municipal water suppliers, which
resulted in the WUE Rule and became effective January 22, 2007.
3. The WUE Rule requires municipal water suppliers with 1,000 or more connections to develop a
WUE Program and establish WUE goals through a public process.
4. DOH and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-290-810 require WUE goals to be reviewed
and reestablished concurrent with water system planning updates.
5. The City’s proposed 2025 Water System Plan Update includes an updated WUE Program and
Goals.
6. The city held a Public Forum on November 13, 2025, to present the proposed WUE Goals and
provide the opportunity for consumers and the public to participate and comment on the proposed
WUE Program and Goals.
7. All public comments received were considered related to the proposed WUE Program and Goals.
8. The City Council has determined that it is in the public interest to approve the updated WUE
Program and Goals.
RESOLVED:
1. The updated WUE Program and Goals as set forth is hereby approved and adopted in
its entirety.
2. The following are the WUE Goals:
a. Reduce single-family residential water use by 20 percent for the highest 30 percent of
single-family residential water users by 2034.
b. Reduce distribution system leakage (DSL) to nine percent in the next 10 years, such that
by 2034 the three-year rolling average DSL is below 10 percent.
c. Develop and implement a Water Loss Control Action Plan.
Adopted by the City Council on December 9, 2025.
