Summer water supplies are forecasted to be sufficient, according to a report this week from the Water Supply Forum. The forum is a cooperative effort of public water supply systems and local governments in the central Puget Sound region.

Ray Hoffman, Seattle Public Utilities director, said Seattle’s water supply is now good.

“We got some much needed snow and rain in the past month and our reservoirs were refilled quite nicely,” he said.

Seattle provides water to the bulk of the Eastside through the Cascade Water Alliance, a non-profit corporation comprised of eight municipalities (five cites and three water and sewer districts) in the Puget Sound region.
