Our Goal:

TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE, RELIABLE, CLEAN WATER FOR ALL MEMBERS

• SSCC is a community Class A water system established in July 1991, as defined and authorized by the WA Dept of Health (DOH).
• The WA Dept of Ecology (DOE) has allocated SSCC a maximum yearly water use appropriation of 4,692,240 gallons, through forty-four approved property owners well connections. This equates to 106,641 gallons per year per approved connection.
• The SSCC Water Use Efficiency Goal established with the WA DOH is 4,015,000 gallons per year. This target assumes each of the 44 authorized connections use 91,250 gallons per year (250 gals. /day).
• To date, thirty-two of the forty-four authorized connections have a water meter in place and are considered SSCC members. Of the remaining twelve “unmetered” authorized connections, only two hold SSCC membership rights, bringing the SSCC voting membership total to thirty-four.
• Over the last ten years ending in 2023, SSCC water usage has averaged 1,827,941 gallons per year. In calendar year 2023, total SSCC water usage was 1,564,100 gallons, for an average of 57,930 gallons per meter in use (only 27 of 32 meters are currently utilized by members).
• The most recent Proof of Appropriation water usage extension request, submitted to the DOE in June 2024, seeks to preserve/extend SSCC’s 4,692,240-gallon water usage appropriation right (Water Right G1- *01330 granted in 1991).

Water Rates:

• SSCC water usage fees are billed quarterly and based on the tiered gallon usage fee table below to encourage water conservation. In addition, a quarterly Water Availability Fee and Capital Improvement Fee will be charged to all members.
  • For 2024, the quarterly Water Availability Fee is $120 and the Capital Improvement Fee is $30.
  • For 2025, a quarterly Water Availability Fee is $130 and the Capital Improvement Fee is $35.
