The Washington County Water Conservancy District is a not-for-profit public agency that was established in 1962 to manage Washington County’s water needs. The district oversees the conservation, development and management of water supplies in the county in an ongoing effort to provide a safe, sustainable water supply for current and future generations.
Ongoing Expansion
During its 50-plus year history, the district has significantly expanded its infrastructure, services and capabilities in an ongoing effort to serve the county’s growing population. Today, the district manages more than $1 billion in infrastructure, including reservoirs, pipelines, wells, water storage tanks, treatment plants, hydro power plants, diversion dams and more. The facilities are currently capable of producing more than 60 million gallons of water a day.
