From modest beginnings and horse-drawn deliveries of wooden pipe, The Spokane Water Department has grown to become a modern water system serving the needs of over 220,000 customers. Currently the City of Spokane water system has 7 well sites, 25 booster stations in 23 different pressure zones, over 1,000 miles of water mains, 32 active water storage facilities with more than 106 million gallons of storage. Our system provides reliable water to over 70,000 services and 7,000 fire hydrants and has a theoretical pumping capacity of over 280 million gallons a day. Daily water usage varies from 30 million gallons a day in the winter to a peak of 180 million gallons a day in the summer.  The City of Spokane adds chlorine to the drinking water in order to maintain its purity throughout the distribution system. We are proud of our long service to the region. We look forward to continuing our mission of consistently delivering affordable high quality water combined with excellent customer service and ample fire protection capacity for years to come.
