This summer’s water supply is good. Frequent rains early in
summer and milder temperatures mean that the demand for water is not as
high as could be expected. The NOAA National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration predicts probable lower temperatures than
normal, but no more precipitation than normal.
NOAA Forecast for
the Seattle Area.
Redmond is part of the Cascade Water Alliance (CWA) and buys more
than 65% of its supply from the Seattle Tolt River supply through the
CWA. The rest of our supply comes from our 5 wells that serve the areas
of town east of the Sammamish River.
Redmond is part
of the western region of the United States that faces its seventh year of
dry summer seasons and abnormally dry conditions. How dry? Check the
US Drought Monitor website. |
