Home MenuWater System Plan Limited Update – 2021
The primary changes to the 2013 WSP and the one-year limited update to that plan are related to clarifications of the PUD’s service areas. These changes, including revised mapping, are more fully described in Chapters 2, 3, 7, and 12:
- Reduction of the PUD’s Judy System retail service area to exclude areas determined by the PUD as not viable for providing retail water supply in a timely and reasonable manner due to topographic, engineering, and cost constraints. These areas are re-designated to be within the district’s Coordinated Water System Plan (CSWP)/future service area.
- Expansion of the Judy system retail service area in the Conway, Little Mountain Road, and Lake McMurray areas to accommodate anticipated growth and requests for service.
- The proposed adjustments to the Judy system retail service area shall not affect the external boundary of the PUD’s CWSP service area boundary, or the provision of PUD retail water service to existing and new retail service area customers.
- Expansion of the respective retail service areas and place of use of the water rights serving the PUD’s Alger, Cedargrove, Rockport, and Skagit View Village satellite water systems. These service area expansions will enable limited new connections near the water supply facilities of these satellite water systems and recognize a small number of previously allowed connections.
- Approval of the related water rights place of use and retail service area expansions shall occur upon approval of the WSP plan update by DOH and legal authority provided pursuant to RCW 90.03.386(2) and RCW 90.03.260.
- The areas where the satellite water system retail service area and place of use expansions are proposed shall occur in areas currently designated as the PUD’s CWSP/future service area. The proposed satellite system retail service area expansion shall not affect the external boundary of the PUD’s CWSP service area boundary, or the provision of PUD retail water service to existing satellite system customers.
Finally, water rights tables and the water rights self-assessment forms for the Judy system have been updated to reflect recently approved water rights documents.
