Cascade is all about water – for today and tomorrow – and that means safe and clean water. Cascade's water is of the highest quality, and as new sources come on line, Cascade will treat water to meet or exceed all federal, state, and local quality standards just as our partners Seattle and Tacoma's Public Utilities do today. Extensive monitoring will be conducted prior to designing and constructing a state of the art treatment facility at Lake Tapps. Actual water quality and regulations applicable at the time Cascade builds the plant will determine the exact type and level of treatment required. Ongoing water quality testing and monitoring will be done. Across the country, many surface supply sources similar to Lake Tapps are used for recreation, with treatment technology making these sources extremely safe for drinking water as well.

Cascade Launches Lake Tapps Water Quality Effort
We've been asked by folks "What can we do to keep our lake clean?" Cascade will be working with the community to determine ongoing actions that might have a detrimental effect on Lake Tapps. We will be observing activities to identify potential target behaviors, that, if changed, would have the greatest positive effect on Lake Tapps water quality. If folks choose, they can download the Behavior Tracking Form and let us know what they are seeing. Please send these forms to contact@cascadewater.org or just let Cascade know you want to help. After Cascade reviews the forms, we will gather additional community information and prepare information on barriers that could discourage or prevent people from changing that behavior. We will then work on key behaviors to change with the community. The result? Hopefully an even better Lake Tapps!
