Regional Planning Process Overview

Cascade is an active participant in a regional water supply planning process undertaken to develop substantive technical information to address water resource and water supply management issues. This planning process, triggered by a February 2005 Memorandum of Understanding between King County and Cascade, has expanded to a multi-stakeholder effort which now also includes Seattle Public Utilities (Seattle), the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, multiple state agencies, environmental organizations, Shared Strategy, several local governments and water utilities, and representatives of the business community.

The expectation for the planning process is that the technical committees will produce substantive technical information, reports and recommendations that may be used in water planning processes in the region and/or to help the region better address both water supply and water resource management issues.
