Abstract Long Description

The following guidelines are intended to assist local governments with the implementation of RCW 19.27.097, the requirement that building permit applicants provide proof of an adequate supply of potable water. The three means of proof specified in the statute are: 1) a water right permit from the Department of Ecology, 2) a letter from an approved purveyor stating the ability and willingness to provide water, and 3) another form (such as the water availability notification suggested here) sufficient to verify the existence of an adequate water supply.
