SUMMARY Legislature to adopt a water use efficiency rule under House Bill 1338. Local agencies must
adopt conservation goals setting water use efficiency measures in a public forum. Tukwila
already performs these conservation goals but the law now requires us to report our
conservation use efficiency goals to the WA Dept of Health.
