Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Workshop July 10, 2023
Renewal of Water Service Agreement with Snohomish County PUD
Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed the renewal of the Water Service Agreement with
Snohomish County PUD in order for Arlington to continue to purchase water to supplement
City water needs.
In the 1998, the City of Arlington entered into a water service agreement with Snohomish
PUD for the purchase of potable water to supplement the City's own water production for
the Arlington water service community. The agreement has expired, and the City needs to
renew our water service agreement with Snohomish PUD.
The City of Arlington has worked with Snohomish PUD over the past several months to
develop a mutually acceptable service agreement. City staff is recommending Council review
and accept this agreement. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions.
