Vision for Clean Water
Planning for and building the system needed to clean the wastewater generated by our region is technical and complex. Every day we face challenges managing population growth, keeping our system in good repair, and meeting existing and new regulations.
Now we have the opportunity to look ahead and create the clean water system we want future generations to inherit. Imagining what might be possible is something we can all do. Join us in creating a shared, regional Vision for Clean Water.
At WTD, success means clean water. It means honoring our legacy while keeping a promise to another generation that our beautiful environment will be there for them to enjoy.
A Vision for protecting water quality
Whenever you send water down the drain, King County’s wastewater system collects and cleans the water. King County’s wastewater system protects water quality for the health of people and our environment in the Puget Sound region.
The Regional Wastewater Services Plan (RWSP) is the roadmap that guides how we will operate and invest in our wastewater system over the coming decades. The RWSP must be updated regularly to prepare for challenges from climate change, aging pipes, and population growth. The Vision for Clean Water will serve as a guiding light for where we want our regional wastewater system to be by the year 2100, and to help shape the future of clean water in our region.
Everyone can be part of imagining the future of clean water in King County
King County is planning for the future based on the needs and priorities of the people who live here. We want to maximize the benefits of our investments for the communities we serve while creating a more sustainable future with the waste we all produce.
A key part of this process is hearing from communities about what they care about so that the Vision broadly reflects our region’s values and goals. Our region has big, significant choices to make about how to invest in our regional wastewater system and the Vision will guide these decisions. Join us in developing a Vision for Clean Water!
