Water System
 TICC owns and operates a water
system for island residents. The system consists of three wells,
each with a pump house, a 150,000-gallon storage tank, fire hydrants,
water lines, and testing stations. There are individual hookups to
island lots, but no water meters at this time. Your annual dues pay for
the operation and maintenance costs. TICC's drinking water is safe
and meets federal and state requirements. It has no detected
contaminants.
Water Use Efficiency Rule
The Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Rule went into effect in
January 2007. The rule requires municipal water systems, including
Treasure Island, to implement a water use efficiency program. There
will be some changes to our water system — the rule mandates water
meters at each connection and evaluation of a rate structure that encourages water
use efficiency. The rule also requires that we forecast water demand,
meet a water system leakage standard, and set conservation goals
through a public process. For more on the rule, including an
implementation schedule, see the following document on the Washington
Department of Health web site:
Water Use Efficiency Committee
The Water Use Efficiency Committee, chaired by Daryl
Axelson, is working on the following items related to implementing the
WUE Rule:
 | Setting our Water Use Efficiency goals (due
January 22, 2009) |
| Defining the type of service meter to be used at
Treasure Island and the schedule for installing service meters
(schedule due July 1, 2009) |
Water Quality – Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs)
