Al a
Cascade Water Alliance recently completed contract negotiations to purchase a wholesale
block of water from the City of Seattle. A 50 -year declining block water supply agreement
will need approval by the City of Seattle and CWA members before the next CWA board
meeting in mid August. Tukwila has purchased a consistent block of water over the last 10
years and no major growth is anticipated. Overall, costs with CWA are projected to be lower
than Seattle. An exit clause is available to withdraw from CWA.
Recommendations:
Sponsor: Forward to Committee of the Whole to authorize support of CWA block contract.
Committee: Same as sponsor.
