Short Description

Many new well users in the Walla Walla River basin are now required to install a meter to allow them to record and report their water use. The requirements apply to new permit-exempt wells accessing the gravel aquifer in high-density areas—those areas zoned for one or more residences per 10 acres.

Water use must be recorded monthly and sent to Ecology by December 31 of each year.

To reduce expense, meters will be available through the Walla Walla County Conservation District. The Conservation District will also provide technical support and field checks to assure meters are installed and working properly.
