History of wholesale water customer
Purveyors include 25 water districts and municipalities served under individual contracts and a consortium of municipalities and water districts called the Cascade Water Alliance (“CWA”), which includes five districts formerly served under individual contracts.
Eight purveyors are governed by contracts signed in 1982 which will expire in 2011. These contracts obligate the City to meet the Purveyors’ demand for water (except in emergency conditions) and provide the City with the long-term commitments requisite to investing in future Water System expansions to serve the Purveyors. The eight purveyors include: City of Bothell, Edmonds, Duvall, Renton, Water District Nos. 119, 49, 90 and Lake Forest Park Water District.
Eleven Purveyors are governed by new full and partial requirements contracts signed with a 60-year term and relinquished their rights and responsibilities under the 1982 contract. These contracts obligate the City to meet the Purveyors’ demand that is not already met by their independent sources of supply. The eleven purveyors include: Cedar River Water & Sewer District, Coal Creek Utility District, Highline Water District, Olympic View Water & Sewer District, Water District Nos. 20, 45, 125, Shoreline Water District, Soos Creek Water & Sewer District, City of Mercer Island, Woodinville Water District.
One Purveyor is governed by a block contract with a 60-year term and relinquished their rights and responsibilities under the 1982 contract. This contract obligates the City to meet the Purveyor’s demand from the Water System that is locked through the life of the contract, which expires in 2061. The one purveyor is: Northshore Utility District
SPU has a declining block contract with CWA. The block contract caps CWA demand from the Water System through 2024, when the block volume begins to decline. CWA will develop sources of supply to satisfy the future water demands of CWA members above the cap amount and is funding feasibility studies for using an alternative source in Pierce County as a potable water supply.
