LOCAL LAND USE & WATER ISSUES

11/30/2015

 
Rural Water Supply for Enough Water to End Home Building Moratorium
Washington REALTORS® reached out to local associations for their areas' possible inclusion in SB 6312. In its final version, Sen. Mary Margaret Haughen's (10th District) legislation narrowly applied to 3 basins in rural Skagit County. With a building moratorium in one basin already, this bill would ensure homes could be built by providing a limited amount of water for residential use and funding to the Department of Ecology for mitigation purposes. REALTOR® efforts were critical in reaching agreement with nearly all stakeholders. While the bill did not pass in the regular session, it may remain alive in the special session.
Even private small exempt wells could be impacted by the Dungeness Water Basin ruling. Washington REALTOR® water rights expert Bill Clarke explains during this radio interview which aired on KNOP Radio in Port Angeles.
