 About
SAJB

|
The
Spokane Aquifer Joint Board (SAJB) is comprised of
twenty-two water purveyors throughout the Spokane area dedicated
to providing safe, clean drinking water to your homes, offices
and industries every day. Collectively we operate 122
wells, supplying drinking water to more than 300,000 people
in the Spokane area. Each purveyor draws water from the same
source - the SPOKANE VALLEY - RATHDRUM PRAIRIE AQUIFER.
Our
collective priority is to protect the public water supply
by coordinating efforts, performing and sponsoring studies
and investigations, and providing a discussion forum with
respect to developing and implementing public water supply
programs such as:
- wellhead
protection,
- conservation,
and
- protection
of associated Water Rights.
In
our efforts to protect the Aquifer and the Wellheads through
which your drinking water is drawn, we formed the SAJB and
completed a lengthy Wellhead Protection Plan. We are now implementing
our Wellhead Protection Program, working within four distinct
areas of emphasis to increase citizen awareness and cooperation
in protecting this irreplaceable resource.

CONTAMINANT SOURCE INVENTORY - develops and maintains
a regional potential contaminant source inventory

location over the Aquifer, and the need to protect
it.
