Water

Our Water Supply

The water we provide is pumped from the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer and then treated through a chlorination system. We pump water from 10 wells located throughout the district. All the wells are tied together through a pipe system — you may be receiving water from our oldest well, dug by hand in 1908, or our newest well, located at 24th and Adams, which started in 2013.

 

Saving water matters to protect the Spokane River and the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum aquifer.
