For Meeting of: June 6, 2017
ITEM TITLE: Set combined public hearing date for June 20, 2017, regarding the

SUBMITTED BY: David Brown, Water/Irrigation Manager 575-6204
Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Washington State Department of Health requires all water systems to have a comprehensive
"Water System Plan." The City of Yakima last adopted such a Plan in July 2011 as it had been
required by the state to be updated every 6 years. State regulatory changes recently
implemented require plans to be updated every 10 years so Yakima's next update will be in 2027.
The City's Water System Plan preparation was authorized by Resolution R-2015-161. Before
the final adoption of the Water System Plan, City Council must first hold a Public Hearing.
