Where do we Get the Water, and How is it Processed?

• Our water source is the pristine Mountain Lake in Moran Park. It has an area of 198 acres and a total volume of  8,800 acre ft.
• Certificate of Adjudicated Water Right   (page 2)
  
• The water is drawn from Cascade Creek  
• The stream also supports trout, a  salmon run and a wide variety of wildlife and plants.
• We currently have 162 members of which 118 are active with a total of 140 connections.
• Our system is currently permitted by Wa State  to support 165 connections, and is expected to increase over time.
• Our current adjudicated water right is for 94 acre ft per year with a peak withdrawal allowed of 0.56 cfs with a priority date of 1908.
• The water is pre-filtered in Cascade Creek, then processed through 2 slow sand filters each rated at a continuous flow of up to 60 gpm.
• The water is chlorinated before delivery to our members (owners).
• We have 147,300 gal of total water storage. Most of it is in the tank built by Mt Baker Silo at an elevation of 320' to handle peak flow conditions and to ensure a reliable safe supply under peak conditions.
