Water 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 the provision of retail water supply in a timely and reasonable
  manner due to topographic, engineering, and cost constraints. These areas are redesignated
  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 have no effect on 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 in close proximity to 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 have no effect on 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.
